*In an effort to address land use issues and developments in neighborhoods without public input or aprovals by the city, Councilmember John Lee included a Letter to constituents in his "CD12 Community Update" regarding his Motion to temporarily prohibit building permits for detached ADUs exceeding 1,200 square feet on multifamily developments. The goal is to restore the city's ability to enforce reasonable size limits.
