A new ordinance has been approved, allowing residents to grow gardens in front of their homes. This change will take effect on September 14, 2026. The approval came after months of discussion about appearance and enforcement. A resident, who helped draft the ordinance, was motivated by a personal experience involving a citation for a front yard garden.

Further details about the ordinance, including the requirements for obtaining a permit, are available. The decision to approve the ordinance was made at a recent meeting, with a vote of 4 to 3.

More information can be found through a video report, which provides additional context and insights into the new ordinance.
