What this means
The moratorium temporarily pauses multifamily housing activity while the City reviews its zoning districts and planning documents. The Council’s agenda procedure now requires more advance notice and supporting information for proposed agenda items, and generally bars reconsidering an item for 180 days unless requested by a member who voted with the prevailing side. Council also adopted the 2025 Capital Improvements Element, allowing the City to continue collecting impact fees.
