Council seeks more time on moratorium

AUBURN - Single-family homes were the main focus Thursday as city officials discussed and voted on housing.

During its weekly meeting, Auburn City Council tabled legislation related to a proposed moratorium on multi-family units. Councilors also approved a measure that removes building permit requirements for many homes in which the homeowners live.

Both pieces of legislation reflect a desire by councilors and officials to make Auburn a more friendly place for families to purchase and live in property within the city.
