Rebekah, 
 
Each application is vested under the code in place when the application is accepted and deemed 
complete.  This application is under the pervious code and determination in place at that time, all of which 
pre-date my tenure with the City.  The City will implement the determination at that time this application was 
received and deemed complete which includes only one (1) washer and dryer per unit.  
 
The new adopted 2026 code has increased this to two.  If you wish for the project to be reviewed under the 
new code, please request it in writing and we can proceed with that review.  Please note all 
provision/standards of the new code will be applied not just the washer/dryer.  
 
Thanks.  
Nichoel

 Hello Nichoel, I have been corresponding with Lucy on a plan set that includes two washer/dryers in a 
dwelling unit. Asking her where it specifies only one w/d in the code, she responded with the below 
forwarded message.  
 
You are the zoning administrator, you must be instructing her to say that. We were told over and over again 
that nothing would be changed until a new zoning administrator came in. You have been in your position 
now for a while. I need confirmation that you are interpreting the old code in the same way that Cody 
interpreted it and agree with and are enforcing his interpretation made on December 1 of 2026. 
 
Thank you. 
Regards,
Rebekah

Lucy, please continue the review using the previous ordinances (not the ones accepted on July 6, 2026). 
Please show me where in the previous code it specified one washer/dryer per dwelling unit.  
 
Based on comments that Mike made on a recorded planning and zoning meeting, the code does not specify 
a specific number of washer/dryers.

Good morning Rebekah. 
 
I am writing regarding the duplex/single-family plans for 304 N. Jefferson (BLD2026-0106). We have a 
review in before us right now. I noted that there are two washer/dryer sets in each proposed dwelling 
unit.  Per the code interpretation available at the time of the initial plan submittal, dwelling units were 
limited to one washer/dryer per dwelling unit. With the passing of Ordinance No. 2026-04 (July 6, 2026), 
two sets of washer/dryers are now permitted in each dwelling unit. If you would like, we can review the 
plans under the post Ordinance 2026-04 standards upon your request or we can continue to review them 
per the older interpretation. 
 
I have not done a review of the plans under the standards of Ordinance 2026-04 and cannot anticipate 
what else might be impacted.   
 
Please let me know if you would like me to conduct the review using the code reflected in Ordinance 
2026-04. Please note that such a review will incorporate all changes made in that ordinance, not just 
those that pertain to washers/dryers. 
 
If I do not hear otherwise, I will continue the review using the pre-Ordinance 2026-04 code. 
 
Sincerely,
