Proposal

This citywide amendment would make it easier for older single-family homes (built before January 1, 2024) to add accessibility ramps by providing exemptions to open space requirements and allowing ramps to encroach into required yards. The changes aim to help existing homes comply with ADA accessibility requirements without having to meet all current zoning restrictions.
