Description
A zoning text change removing D-5 from the affordable housing height/density bonus passed, closing a loophole that would have doubled D-5's 35-foot height cap.
Impact summary
Nothing changes on the ground today since no one has used the bonus in 11 years, but future D-5 parcels can no longer double their height through the bonus.
