SUBJECT: Council Agenda, March 24, 1988
ITEM: 11F. Consider an ordinance concerning duplex
conversion. (First Reading)
STAFF RESOURCE PERSON: Joe Vining
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Approval..
This ordinance requires the "Townhouse" fire separation
between all duplex units constructed after-April 1, 1988.
This will allow the subdivision of Duplexes without
expensive future retrofitting costs.
It also grandfathers existing duplexes allowing the
subdivision along the common wall regardless of
construction.
