WORKSHOP ITEM - Lori Johnson, City Planner
Title
ZONING ORDINANCE AMENDMENTS (CHAPTERS 30, 31 and 32)
Background
This is the second opportunity for staff to provide information on the proposed zoning ordinance changes. Staff will discuss the changes proposed for all commercial and industrial zoning districts, along with the Highway 65 Overlay District standards.
Again, the presentation will highlight major changes being proposed to these districts. An overall redline version of the proposed changes is provided in your packets.
Some of the items that will be discussed include:
• Language regarding the location of gas stations adjacent to schools.
• Mini-storage limitations in the commercial zoning districts.
• Adding the requirement that all buildings in commercial zoning districts meet Highway 65 Overlay District requirements with regard to building materials.
• Removing the PC and PI zoning text as these districts no long exist on the zoning map.
• The addition of interim uses in industrial districts.
The planning commission has been formally invited to attend all city council workshop sessions when zoning code amendments will be discussed. They will be updated on the current workshop schedule as this review progresses.
The city attorney has also been provided with a copy of the proposed changes.
Staff will provide a more thorough explanation of the changes at the meeting via presentation.
Recommendation
Review the proposed changes to Sections 30, 31 and 32 of the Zoning Ordinance and provide feedback to staff on said changes.
