City hosts community meeting on the issue of mansionization
|
|
Meeting discussed standards for single-family homes
|
|
Last Thursday, the city hosted a community meeting to address the issue of mansionization and the development standards for single-family homes. The trend of mansionization, or the practice of building or modifying a home in a manner that outsizes the surrounding neighborhood, has garnered resident concerns in recent years. In response, the city is working on revisions to the zoning code that will curtail the trend of mansionization.
You can learn more about last week's meeting
here.
