What the records say
Brier's Planning Commission agenda for Feb. 19, 2025 listed a public meeting on Zoning Code Amendment CA25-01, covering middle housing and accessory dwelling units (ADUs) 1. City Planner Lee Michaelis was scheduled to give a brief presentation summarizing proposed changes since a January study session 1. The public was to be offered a chance to comment; the record says this was not a public hearing, no time limit would be set, and the chair could limit repetitive comments 1. After the presentation and comments, the commission was scheduled to discuss the proposed amendments and consider a motion to recommend them to the City Council or hold another study session 1. The record lists attachments on code definitions, use districts, single-family residential rules, parking and vehicle storage, and unit lot subdivisions 1. It does not list the specific text of the proposed changes or establish what the commission decided 1.
