space of the PUD, but the park was not part of the original Parkland Dedication for the subdivision. The 
applicant has requested concrete pavers in the furnishing zone, which is the portion of sidewalk along the 
commercial areas. The request would have to be reviewed by City Council. Concrete pavers are not allowed 
by City Standards because of the complications during the settling process and because maintenance is 
generally more extensive. There was a brief discussion about the merits of using or not using concrete pavers.
Seever moved to recommend approval to City Council of both the final replat and the final major PUD 
amendment of Woodbury 1st Addition, seconded by Beebe. Roll Call Vote; Ayes: Unanimous (6). Nays: 
None. Abstentions: None. Motion carried.
5. Potential Duplex Code Amendments (ACTION ITEM)
Over the past few years, the Community Development Department has received construction plans for 
duplex dwellings which have continued to evolve into multiple individual dwelling units intended to be 
rented as separate dwelling units and function as multiple family dwelling units. These two-family 
dwellings appear to be intentionally designed to avoid life safety, ADA accessibility, and off-street parking 
that would otherwise be required for multiple family dwelling units to protect the safety and welfare of 
the occupants of multi-family dwellings and mitigate the impacts of the use on the surrounding 
neighborhood. Staff recognizes that there is a needfor additional housing within the City, but the need to 
protect the safety of the residents of these two-family dwellings and mitigate the impact upon adjacent 
properties requires greater regulation. Therefore, staff is proposing some code amendments for the 
Commission’s 
consideration 
that 
will 
clarify 
existing 
definitions 
and 
apply 
some 
multi-family 
requirements to more than one single- or two-family dwelling upon a single lot.
Ray continued the discussion of a proposed code amendment for duplexes as described above and provided 
some example language that staff recommend for use. The Commission pointed out a few areas where the 
code could be refined to remove unnecessary confusion or prevent accidental restrictions. There was a 
conversation about how the zoning code has been interpreted by developers outside the scope of its intention. 
The Commission recognizes that life safety is an important concern and requires an update to the code.
Seever moved to direct Staff to prepare a draft code amendment ordinance regarding duplexes as discussed, 
seconded by Scott. Roll Call Vote; Ayes: Unanimous (6). Nays: None. Abstentions: None. Motion carried.
