An ordinance (BL2025-820) was passed, amending Chapter 17.40 of the Metropolitan Code by adding a new Section 17.40.175. This new section requires applicants for certain final site plans to provide mailed written notice to the district council member in whose district the property is located. The requirements for this notice apply if the final site plan includes five or more dwelling units, the property has maintained its current zoning district for four or more years prior to the application, and the property is located within one thousand feet of an RS, R, or RM zoned property. Final site plans in the DTC (Downtown Code) zoning district are excluded from this requirement. The mailed written notice must include the total number of dwelling units proposed. The Planning Commission recommended approval of this item by a vote of 7-0.
