Council adopted Bill 34 after a public hearing. The ordinance clarifies the "single family" definition, creates a "single housekeeping unit" standard, and requires owners who convert single-family homes into licensed rooming houses to undergo planning and zoning review; the change applies prospectively.

The York City Planning Commission recommended approval Thursday of a land-development waiver, several zoning variances and a special-exception allowing conversion of 462–464 West Market Street into a 15‑unit affordable senior housing building, with a condition that the special exception expires on transfer of the property.

SPG Capital applies for special exception to convert residential building into multifamily units.
