2 issues in zoning with medium priority
Duplex Rezoning at 2018 SW Jefferson Avenue
Two vacant lots between 20th and 21st just south of Jefferson get duplex zoning — a small step toward the affordable housing the city says it lacks. No neighbors objected.
Rezoning at 1802 NW Lake Avenue
A non-owner-occupied house in the West Mountain View addition has been operating as a three-unit rental without permits. Rezoning it to R-2 with a six-month compliance condition forces it back to a legal two-family dwelling; without action it would remain a legal non-conforming use indefinitely. Neighbors showed up concerned about parking and the unpermitted conversion.
