Design Overlay Zone Amendments (DOZA)

Project
Adopted on June 30, 2021, DOZA updates and improves the City’s design review process and regulatory tools. The changes allow more projects to go directly to the permit process and provide flexibility and variety to design standards. The zoning code and map changes went into effect on August 1, 2021.
