FY26 Implementation

In June 2025, the Mayor and Board of Aldermen determined the implementation priorities for Fiscal Year 2026. Priorities include revisions to zoning district regulations, creation of new policies or guidelines, and updating online materials and resources. A schedule for completion of each task has been created to help coordinate staff resources. The exact timeline will be dependent on meeting schedules. As meetings and discussions are set, dates and additional information will be added to this page.

Fiscal Year 2025 Implementation Priorities:

1. Review PUD public benefit points system to identify opportunities for better alignment with City objectives. (continued from FY25)
2. Review the architectural guidelines against the character and development pattern of different neighborhoods to establish appropriate identity standards. (continued from FY25)
3. Modify lot size and setback regulations to better align with historic neighborhood patterns where applicable.
4. Establish appropriate infill development standards for building form and materials.
5. Review development barriers for zero-lot-line townhouses and villa developments and consider ways to update the Zoning Code to allow them in more parts of the community.
6. Modify the existing outdoor dining permit regulations to increase clarity and compliance.
7. Remove restrictions on food trucks and identify appropriate locations to provide additional food options, especially during weekday lunch hours.
8. Review the tree and landscape regulations to further protect and enhance the existing neighborhood tree canopy, especially during construction activities.
9. Identify barriers to resilient revenue generators in existing zoning codes that could be removed to promote businesses less susceptible to pandemic-like conditions. Identify target uses for various districts that can be used to further priorities of incentive programs and assist with zoning code updates.
10. Conduct a review of the current ARB, SPR, and CUP processes and identify ways to streamline or better address concerns.
