The City Council had a briefing at their work session on November 16 about a proposal that would amend the FB-SE (Form Based Special Purpose Corridor Edge Subdistrict) zoning district to allow for rooftop commercial uses above the second story, subject to meeting a height of 30-feet. The proposed amendment affects section 21A.27.040.D FB-SE Building Form Standards. All properties, citywide, in the FB-SE (Form Based Special Purpose Corridor Edge Subdistrict) would be impacted. The FB-SE zone currently limits commercial or nonresidential uses to first two stories and a height of 30 feet. Related provisions of Title 21A Zoning may also be amended as part of this petition.
