This report offers recommendations for addressing potential barriers to urban agriculture identified based on a review of the city's building and zoning code and through conversations with stakeholders. It identifies, for city staff, areas of the code that may need clarification of existing code language, present potential barriers to the practice or expansion of urban agriculture, or warrant expansion to include explicit support for and regulation of urban agriculture uses. It also offers a review of best practices in regulating urban agriculture from other cities and states.
