Description
Updates to municipal code chapters governing building height definitions, front-yard paving, condominium map use permits, and permit expiration timelines.
Impact summary
Larger projects keep strict detention rules; small residential projects get relief, and the applicability date is proposed to be set at permit application so nobody in the pipeline is caught by surprise.
