Chapter 10 zoning code rewrite (full rewrite, ~18 months)

Every appearance on the public record. Nothing here is summarized away — each stop links to its tape.

The record, step by step

  1. Mar 5Mayor Brandon Sakbun (probable) told council a new state law, House Bill 1001, requires the city to submit an updated zoning code by the end of 2026 or show the update is underway; said he plans to hire an outside firm, not a local one, to review zoning and setback rules last updated in the 2000s. A combined city-county development code was discussed but called unlikely this year.

Why we track this: items that quietly disappear are the ones residents miss. This ordinance has appeared on the public record twice since Mar 5 — that pattern, not any single meeting, is the story.
