On September 3, the City Council will consider extending the building moratorium that was put in place in the landslide area when a state of emergency was declared in October 2023 due to accelerated land movement. If approved, the moratorium would remain in effect through October 2, 2025.
The Council will also consider establishing regulations and procedures to help homeowners in the landslide area stabilize and level their houses. These temporary solutions include placing homes on cargo structures and other leveling systems, such as I-beams, and installing alternative foundation systems to help maintain the integrity of the structure as the land shifts.
A staff report (PDF) with more information is available on the City website.
