Code Amendments - HB 2001 Changes

File No. 20-032 DCA amends Chapters 17.30, 17.34, 17.60, 17.74, and 17.98 of the Development Code, which contain the procedures for zoning districts, single-family residential (SFR), flood and slope hazard (FSH) overlay district, accessory development, and parking, respectively. The primary goal of the amendments is to amend the Development Code in compliance with House Bill (HB) 2001. HB 2001 requires medium-sized cities to allow attached duplexes anywhere a detached single-family residence is allowed and prevents cities from applying more restrictive development standards to duplexes than what is applied to single-family residences. This includes design standards, parking requirements, and density thresholds. The bill also prevents cities from applying minimum parking standards and owner occupancy requirements to ADUs.
