Council adopts amendments to R-5 zoning (Ordinance 607)

Brighton City Council on Jan. 14 adopted Ordinance 607, which amends Chapter 98 rules governing the R-5 zoning district.

Community Development Manager Caruso told council the planning commission reviewed the R-5 district over the past three months and submitted recommended edits. Caruso said the current text before council reflected the changes agreed at the ordinance’s first reading and subsequent meetings.

Council opened and closed a public hearing on the ordinance; there were no public speakers. Council member Gardner moved to adopt the ordinance, seconded by Council member Albert. Clerk Brown called the roll; the motion passed unanimously.

Council thanked planning staff and consultants for their work refining the zoning language. Caruso and council noted the ordinance followed a line-by-line review to address concerns the council raised in earlier meetings.
