Staff presented updates to the county-city development ordinance: smaller minimum lot widths in R-20 areas, duplex standards, a 20-foot greenbelt for large subdivisions, a ban on lots in floodplains, and sidewalk requirements for commercial development. Most changes barely touch unincorporated Lee County.
