What this means

The board sent three proposals to the City Council with unanimous recommendations for approval. Those proposals would update the city code’s reasonable-accommodation procedures, change part of Verano South POD G from residential golf-course use to general commercial use, and allow enclosed assembly uses in the OSR zoning district under specific limits. The board also denied a request for setback variances at 455 SW Kestor Drive, which means the existing roofed patios cannot keep the reduced side-yard distances requested.
