Temple City : Zoning Change Approved

Some developers are skirting the city’s anti-mansionization regulations by building homes with high-vaulted ceilings, which create two-story-tall rooms but keep the amount of floor space within legal limits, Community Development Director Robert Dawson told the City Council Tuesday.

In response, the council changed the zoning regulations for rooms taller than 12 feet. Floor area for such rooms now will be counted double.
