The South Capitol Neighborhood Association hosted an open forum on two proposed changes to residential zoning code on October 21. About 30 residents heard Nicole Floyd, Principal Planner with the City of Olympia clearly explain proposed changes to the home-based business regulations and changes to the residential zoning code that would allow small-scale commercial business in residential zones. It was a very informative and lively discussion about these proposed policies and how they might affect the neighborhood.
Here is a (AI-generated) summary of the event, including the comments made by attendees on all aspects of these topics:

Anyone can submit comments to the City on these proposed changes as they are still being refined by staff. Send any comments directly to David Ginther, Senior Planner, at DGinther@ci.olympia.wa.us.
Thank you to the City of Olympia for providing support to put on this forum. The next forum is November 18 at 6:30 pm in the Lincoln Elementary Cafeteria. The topic in November is “Urban Gardening”.
