PRESENTATION <br /> <br />None. <br />3. CITIZEN INPUT <br /> <br />Debra Musgrove, 15247 Fluorine Street, came forward and shared that she has three items she <br />would like to discuss with the Council this evening, the repackaging of the Missing Middle <br />Housing legislation from 2024, cost-sharing with the County and State, and preserving parks and <br />infrastructure. She explained that the Missing Middle Housing legislation failed in 2024; however, <br />it is being brought back this year in the form of seven bills, the first being House File 1987 and <br />Senate File 2229. She noted that these bills would permit at least two units on any single-family <br />zoned lot and allow accessory dwellings. She added that it would limit minimum-sized lot to an <br />eighth of an acre for duplexes and single-family homes, prohibit minimum-sized lots for <br />townhouses larger than 1,500 square feet, allow at least 80% lot coverage and restrict floor and <br />ratio setbacks, prohibit minimum parking requirements for any development, and require an <br />administrative approval process for residential developments with no more than a public meeting, <br />not a public hearing.
