<br />Discussion
<br />Mayor Vinis - said that her plan for the meeting was to start with councilors putting their
<br />specific motions on the table.
<br />Councilor Syrett - said she had planned to bring a motion to remove minimum lot sizes related to
<br />ADUs, but learned from staff that there are complicating factors in terms of related processes and
<br />asked staff to explain these complications; said that in the continuing work to comply with HB
<br />2001, council will need to revisit how density requirements are defined and she hoped to address
<br />equity issues then; talked about a constituent recommending a slight change to the interior
<br />setback height limits, expanding from 8 to 10 feet, that would have minimal exterior impact, but
<br />opens up interior design options.
