DPD generally supports and encourages infill development when consistent with the City’s Comprehensive Plan goals and policies.

DPD determined that development approved under current standards is often out of character with the surrounding neighborhood and inconsistent with policy. Interim measures were put in place to prevent additional permits on these small lots while this issue is being studied.

This rule requires property management companies, landlords, contractors, renovators, and painters to take safety measures when working with lead paint.
