Quick context to catch up fast.
Council adopted amended zoning rules allowing patios, decks, pergolas, trellises, rain gardens, swing sets, playhouses and treehouses to bypass standard accessory-structure setbacks, while requiring them to be at least 3 feet from lot lines and outside utility easements. A proposal to add sheds to the exception failed on a 5-2 vote.

The zoning changes affect where certain backyard features can be placed on residential properties. These items still must remain at least 3 feet from every lot line and cannot be located in a utility easement. A resident spoke against proposed front-yard zoning restrictions, but the minutes do not identify the final status of those restrictions.
