regulating cannabonoid products. Uh the reason for the change is the office of cannabis management has taken over lower potency hemp edible licensing and how they will be issued. Everything that was previously covered in the old ordinance 2024 327 is accounted for in our new
ordinance 2025 3331 an ordinance to regulate cannabis businesses. Uh lawn sale business or lawn sale businesses selling lower potency hemp edible will still have to apply to register with the city in accordance to the 2025 331 ordinance to regulate
cannabis businesses. staff issued the mandatory 10-day public hearing notification which was advertised in the law and sale news review commencing January 6, 2026. And Mr. Chair, uh no public's uh public comments were received prior to this meeting. Okay.

commission has been working on this one for a while. uh since last fall. And I'm hoping that we can get this uh considered approval tonight um later on in the agenda here and move this to the city council meeting this coming this Thursday night for city council
approval. At the December 15, 2025 meeting, the commission approved staff to schedule the public hearing for ordinance 2026 339, an ordinance amending city code 153.078 off streetet loading and access. staff issued the mandatory 10-day public hearing notification which was
advertised in the law and sale news review commencing January 6, 2026. Um, Mr. Chair, no public comments uh have been received at this time. The commission discussed and have recommended the following updates to
city code 153.078. Uh, page three, uh, removal D. All driveways shall have a minimum width of 10 ft with pavement string capable of supporting emergency and fire vehicles. And this is in your attachment, the red
line version. Uh page four, no change to uh four. Except as allowed by lease agreement approved by the city, the site using for meeting the officer parking requirement shall be under the same ownership as a principal using being served under the public ownership. Uh so
we had a we had a long discussion on that one at a previous meeting and the uh the recommendation was to leave it alone. Uh page four again removal of offsite parking located more than 500 ft from the main entrance may be allowed with provisions of private and shuttle
service. Page four again, no change to seven. E use which depends upon the site uh parking to meet the requirements of this chapter shall maintain ownership and parking utilization of the offsite location until such time on the site
parking is provided or site is closer proximity to the principal use required and develop for parking. Um page five uh update single family resident res residential dwellings width of the garage of the property line maximum of 36 ft. This actually uh ties
into um u off street parking on residential or property uh which we will be uh reviewing again this coming Thursday night at the city council meeting. Uh page five, removal of um or removal of
or pavers service allowed for the city code 153.067 or two or two. Special mark parking situation approved by the city engineer or his design other materials such as decorative rock, gravel, sand or bare soil or prohibited. That means just hard
surface only asphalt or concrete. Uh, page six, removal of uh, sale of goods and for stock and stockpiling of snow. Page 12, removal B, any commercial industrial officer spaces shall be located at least 100 ft
from the residential district. And then page 12, removal C, all loading spaces shall be located in the side or rear yard. So, Mr. Chair, those have been the recommended changes uh during the from the planning and zoning commission presented at this public hearing and we
can further discuss uh later on under old business. >> Okay. So, at this time, we'll open this floor up for the or open the meeting for the public hearing. >> Oh, let's get a >> Sorry. >> Oh, sorry. Go ahead.
So, I was just going to open the open the floor up for this public hearing to uh anybody that wants to speak about it. If not, we'll go ahead and move and close it. >> Yes, sir. >> So, I will uh take a motion to close this hearing.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. It's that time of year again. Uh, per city code 153.021, planning and zoning commission. Uh at the first meeting of each calendar year, uh voting members of the commission shall select a chair, a vice chair, and a secretary, each uh to serve throughout
the year until a successor is chosen. Uh last year's planning commission officer list, uh Joe Kadata, chair, Jeremy Brainer, vice chair, and myself as secretary, uh Vipka, uh council member Voseka, non- voting member, and then Mr.
or city administrator, uh ex officio. So, uh, Mr. Chair, let's open it up to the elections tonight to see, uh, let's get, we were going to need a motion for, uh, 2026 chair and another motion for, uh, vice chair for 2026. So, Mr. Chair,
take it away. >> Yes. So, I'll open the motions up for any recommendations. >> I'll go for vice chair, I guess. Okay. Unless anybody else wants it. >> You can have it.
>> And Mr. Chair, I did hear a rumor today that uh Mr. Jame Jeremy Brainard was interested in in uh >> chair position for 2026 chair. So, >> like I said, it's open up for discussion. When you're ready, I'm ready
for a motion uh from Mr. Harding as vice chair. So I'll um I'll make a motion for uh Mr. uh Mike Harding. >> Second. >> All in favor? >> I. >> Anyone opposed?
>> None. >> Congress for myself. >> Now we'll make a I guess a motion or uh to open it up for who wants to be chair. I mean, I'll volunteer to continue do chair unless somebody else wants it.

and review city code uh 153-021, planning and zoning commission. I think you wanted to speak about this. >> Yes. Uh thank you, Mr. Chair. This is also an annual housekeeping item. Uh staff is requesting the commission to discuss an annual review the city code
153.021, 021 Planning and Zoning Commission staff will collect the commission's recommendations to potentially enhance internal external processes and streamline citywide services. Uh if you don't mind, Mr. Chair, I am going to make a recommendation tonight to uh move that
meeting time to 7:00 p.m. >> Thank you, Corey. Council member, >> I think it would be more it be it makes more sense having the seven o'clock start time. Agree. Anybody opposed to that? >> No. >> No. It's easier on me.
>> Okay. I think it'd be easier on everybody, especially if I work in the city. So, I don't know. Makes it easier. >> So, let's get a motion on that, though. Let's get a motion to change the meeting time, the 7:00. >> Second.
>> Mike Harding, seconded by Jamie. >> Mr. And Mr. Mr. Chair, is anything is there is there anything else we want to change tonight with the with the city code 153.021? >> Great question. Open for discussion. Anybody else want to change anything
else? >> Switch seats so we can confuse everybody even more. >> Sure. So now we can make a motion. So we already have the motion in the second, right? >> Yep. We have uh Harding and Bose to change that time to 7 new start time at
7:00 p.m. >> All in favor? >> I. >> All opposed. >> Carries forward. >> All right. So now moving on to uh number nine, old business. Consider approval of ordinance 2206-338,
an ordinance to regulate cannabis businesses. Repeal of ordinance 2024-327, an ordinance regulating cannibonoid products. >> Thank you, Mr. Chair. Like I stated earlier prior to the agenda, this is just a simple housekeeping item to
repeal the old ordinance um of uh 20 or introduce this to repeal it with ordinance 2026 338, an ordinance regulate cannabis businesses um repeal ordinance 2024 327, an orance ordinance regulating cowboy products which was
reviewed, like I said, reviewed prior. Uh no public comments were received and uh remember this is just a note the office of cannabis management has taken over the lower potency annual licensing and how they will be issued. So Mr. Chair uh this should be a simple one.
Let's get a motion to approve ordinance 2026 338 and like I said this would be going to city council this coming Thursday night. >> Okay. I'll entertain a motion. >> Motion to approve. >> Mike Hardy. >> Second. Second by Mike.
>> Hey, >> hold on. >> Calm down. >> So, in the the old ordinance, there was violations/administrative penalties. Can you maybe take us through that because I don't I see any failures under this section must be reported to
the Office of Cannabis Management. >> That is correct. >> Is it just all OCM? >> Yep, it is all OCM. >> So, we can't add anything to that at all. uh we if it's reported to the or it's goes directly to the OCM that is correct >> so no administrative fees >> correct okay
>> based upon the our ordinance that we set um >> uh ordinance >> that's just in public places right ordinance okay >> correct have some more. >> That's okay. >> Anybody else?
>> All right. So, we have the motion in second. So, all in favor? >> I >> I >> All opposed? None. Carries forward. >> Uh 9B stack of paper. Consider the approval of ordinance 20 2026-339,
an ordinance amending city code 153.078 off streetet parking loading and access. >> All right. Uh thank you, Mr. Chair. Uh we had this public hearing earlier in the meeting um and with the recommended changes. Uh so page three like I stated
earlier uh removal of DL driveway shall have a minimum width of 10 ft with payment strength capable sorting supporting emergency and fire vehicles. Page four no change to except allowed by lease agreement. We were going to keep that leave that one alone. Uh page four
offsite parking located more than 500 ft from the main entrance. Um removal of that one. Uh page four also no change to any use which depends upon off-site parking to meet the requirements of this chapter shall maintain ownership and
parking utilization of the offsite location until such a time on the park site parking is provided or site closer proximity to the principal use is acquired and developed for parking. Uh as I stated earlier, page five, single family residential dwellings,
width of the garage with property line maximum of 36 ft or whichever is less. Um page five again uh hard surface only concrete or vuminous. And then page six removal of
the sale of goods uh and for stockpiling of snow. Page 12, removal of any commercial industrial off- streetet spaces shall be located at least 100 feet uh from the resident district. And then page 12, removal, all loading
spaces shall be located in the side or rear yard. So, Mr. Chair, now we can open it up uh for planning commission. We want to make sure that we uh have made all the changes here and we're getting exactly what we want to present
uh at the city council meeting this Thursday night. >> All right. Open for discussion. >> I'd like to make a recommendation uh no off streetet parking uh within 15t of a state highway. That way we're keeping our uh sight line
uh open especially uh with Oldtown to to 19 as well. It's been a ongoing kind of issue with a lot of residents. So >> uh thank you Mr. Mayor. I did uh uh I did sort of I did look into this one
earlier today. Um I know that uh on the south side there on 19 the oldtown area I I know that that was a 20 foot setback uh that was marked out in in um yellow. So and then I went then it kept on going
uh east through town and they ranged from 20 foot yellow striped to 33 feet. So there is a variable of what uh of no parking zones um and entering
residential areas um along 19. >> So that already exists now. >> Yes. >> Okay. And I know that um for example uh 102nd Avenue Southwest just for an example that that that uh
that that no parking curb is uh 20 ft on that corner which goes I think public works cut it off at the storm drain. >> Sure that makes sense. >> So but just I just want to make sure that Mr. You're always aware that >> yeah, >> it it's a variable no parking areas
along the north and south side of 19. >> Okay. So, as long as we we have that somewhere, um I guess that would be awesome for up for us and public works to spray those lines or I don't I don't really want to spend
a whole lot of money on signs and no parking. We just spray them every year. >> Yes. And Mr. Mayor, I did not get the uh public works input from this uh this afternoon. I something that we can bring back or bring forth to public works. I
know that there was an earlier uh conditional use permit that we approved >> early last year um which was just a recommendation uh with the Lawndale Auto um planning commission. I'm not sure if you
remember this or not, but we did extend that no parking. >> It's pretty much half the block. >> Half the block. Okay. Council member Vipka. So, >> from the corner all the way down to the alley. >> So, I know that that was it wasn't a city code thing or it was just the
recommendation that was discussed during the conditional use um application. >> Awesome. Thank you, Corey. And now with it with that painting though, isn't it just right now it's just part of the curb painting is like yellow
>> and that and that depicts no parking. >> That is correct. >> And it seems to have helped significantly. >> Okay. >> Except for right now when you can't see the curb. >> That's understandable. >> Yeah. >> But I I am open for suggestions here if
we were going to change something or make want to make a recommendation here. Um no off streetet parking. uh so many feet away or do we just do it on a on an administrative level here? >> I wonder if you should just do it on an an administrative level because some of them are a little bit different. Um it's
not like you all had straight lots and >> 19's not perfectly aligned either. So I I would definitely put that in your guys' hands. I just was worried about uh a minimal uh setback. That's all I was
kind of getting at. So, as long as we have it, you know, that's that's great news. So, >> Oh, and nobody gets screwed either. >> Anything else? >> Yeah. Uh, page one, use of parking areas. We still have stock piling of
snow is prohibited. It's a >> Okay. Removal. >> Yeah, >> removal. I see it. Thank you. >> Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. >> It happens. >> Cuz it was in multiple spots. >> Mhm.
Page five, surfacing. I've been driving around town paying attention and there are several boats, trailers, ATVs parked on grass. If we enforce this, we're going to be hurting a lot of
people in town. So, maybe allow for recreational vehicles to be parked on gravel instead. Yeah. >> And you're referring to number five off-site parking for multiple
>> number five surfacing. All parking spaces and driveways shall be surfaced with concrete biotemasis after fall. >> That's where we remove the pavers. >> Y >> Jamie, when you drive around, do you see it more in Oldtown or New Town?
I try not to go into New Town because I have a really beat up vehicle. I'd stick out, but yeah, mainly in Oldtown. >> You can take the city car next time. Uh, so the reason why I asked that is cuz doesn't the ordinance reflect
a certain year or older, but they can park those boats and and trailers on their grass? Not right now. I don't think >> it used to. I think we took it out. >> And grass was never an option. It had to be gravel.
>> They weren't gra grandfathered in. >> I thought there was a grandfather clause. >> Uh there is when we actually implemented this back, I'm not sure 2018, something like that. We actually inventoried every parking pad in town.
So there there was a point in time where parking pads were were known. So this is for driveways and uh side along your garage, whatever you want to call it. Or is it just driveways? >> To me, it looks like it's just driveways. It
>> says all parking spaces and driveways. and drags that different >> I would say. >> So under our um Mr. Chair, so we're reviewing this. Remember we were working
with um off streetet parking residential. Uh it's that's that that that city code's two years in the working >> and this one is going and it's going back on Thursday night for further discussion. So as far as a parking pad goes that's required to have a hard
surface either concrete or buminous. So that that's the current city code um that we're looking at for Thursday night. So what we're what we're discussing right here is that so that it will impact that code also. So are we
eliminating or would we be changing that also and going back to gravel parking pads? >> I don't I just don't see how you get behind that if you don't have that grandfather clause cuz there's so many
that are already like my neighbors. They have >> Mhm. a dirt or a gravel driveway, you know, uh the one adjacent to me. They got uh another driveway that's just sitting there as class 5. I mean,
I think you need that grandfather claws back in. I think you should be somewhat decent. >> Yeah, I agree. Well, see, I don't see a lot of those people throwing in brand new parking pads and concrete, especially now with the price of it now.
>> Nope. >> No. But I mean, a lot of these houses that were built up 20 years ago, you know, I mean, they're built to have uh say two cars left and right of each other. You know, my driveway, you can't get that unless you're parking in the
grass in the backyard. >> Yeah. So, if there if there was they would be grandfathered in. >> So, we would have that grandfather clause. >> Correct. >> Okay.
>> And as the city administrator stated earlier, um city administrator know police chief took that inventory back in 2017. So, there there is a a map that identifies pre >> Sorry, go ahead. >> I forget what years they were. Was it
pre 1960 or 70 or >> uh there was something on there pre I think 1990s. >> Okay. >> Okay. >> So we good leaving it out or should we add gravel in there?
I >> mean if they're grandfather does it really even matter now? No, because they would be legal non-conforming. >> Yeah. >> When we pass the original ordinance would be the same today as well. >> Yeah. Cuz it's tough cuz then you got
what maybe three houses up by Siging Hills that got um >> a backyard access >> gravel. >> Yeah. It's not staff's intention to make people get in compliance.
It's right going forward. >> Yeah. >> So if those properties wanted to put a parking pad in, it would have to be hard surfaced. >> So it's anything moving forward from say today onward, it would have to
be buminous or >> or concrete pad. >> Right now everybody's okay, but moving forward. >> Yep. So if someone had >> you can't just add another gravel driveway. >> That's correct. >> Yeah, >> that makes sense. >> Y
>> So we're okay leaving five as is? Then >> I am if everybody else is. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. We offer a variance in the off chance that they can't put a paved pad in because it run off into the neighbor's property
>> because it was discussed. >> As far as well, we've got setbacks as far as >> how far they need to be from >> from the property line. And if it's pre190, that's not a concern. >> No,
>> that would be where the issues are with the older houses. I would think your newer ones with the um the plans or whatever and stuff there and new codes, >> I don't would see that being an issue. It's like, hey, Jimmy, you can't put
your driveway through my backyard. We >> just put the alley back in. Jeez. I'm fine with leaving it then. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> But on the next page for lighting, we have to uh make the lighting ordinance
change on that. >> It's only downward facing. We allow for upward facing. >> Oh yeah. >> All lighting fixtures shall be downward style >> or down downcast style. Yep.
>> So, we're changing it to all light fixtures shall be sorry. What? >> Maybe just remove the downcast style. >> Yeah, just remove that whole set. >> All right. >> Well, and that and that stems back to this building right here, right? And this building >> flag and >> well flags I mean that's you kind of
don't have much of a a choice unless you get a >> a light that it's a light sits at the top of the >> um the flag pole. >> Mhm. Those are not practical because they're too hard to change if they go out. >> Correct.
>> Um Yeah, because any any businesses that come in um we're looking at that lighting plan so it does not uh go past the their property lines. >> Yeah, I'd put that it has to be aimed at something instead of outward.
Uh yeah, I guess we can >> put something like that. >> Um but you know, it's like when we reviewed Quick Trip or when we were looking at the apartments, they send us that photo map of >> 1.0.0. 05.
>> Um you know, so as long as >> as long as the light doesn't go past the property lines, >> who cares which direction it goes, >> right? So yeah, I'd just say just remove that last sentence that all them have to >> I would I would recommend to stay focusing down.
>> But if you have them focusing up from the ground, as long as it's not moving over into the neighbor's property, does it really matter? >> Uh well, we've had that situation where we got complaints from from a neighbor that um a business's lights were shining
into their house. But I mean, if if they're focusing up or down, does it if they're not shining into the neighbors and it's going up from the ground, does it matter from the ground up? >> Just saying like >> Yeah, I guess it just depends on what
angle is. My recommendation is if it goes down, but you guys can decide what you would like. I suppose the only reason why we think that they shouldn't be down is like Jamie said was for flag polls, but
>> well, but also the signs and like welcome like our city hall sign that's pointing at something. >> Uh the lights outside out front here, it's pointing, you know, kind of towards the building. But >> I get where Jamie's saying, make sure it's pointing at something.
>> Yeah. But >> I mean, how do Right. >> Yeah. >> But >> but the other thing too is when Quick Trip came in, they talked about light pollution. You know, they did not want to light pollute a whole lot. And you'd
imagine any business that would come in would pay attention to that factor, too, being, hey, I I don't want to spend more money than I have to. Um, I can see it both ways >> really, but I think if you define it
well enough, >> the first part of six already says letting an off street parking area shall be shaded or diffused as to reflect the light away from the adjoining property or adjacent traffic areas. That should cover it. >> I think that covers it. >> Yeah, >> I do. >> To me, that just says, okay, the light's
not shining at the property next door and it's not impeding traffic. Does it have to be straight down? I mean, can it be facing up and towards the wall in the back of the parking lot? I don't know. >> Show me. We're not compliance. The city
sign isn't in compliance. I mean, >> well, you got to remember this is, you know, this was built 20 years ago. What was the ordinance then? >> Same thing with the parking pads, right? >> There's always going to be some >> example of well, they're not compliant.
>> But the first part, >> we can go to all the houses in the old section of town aren't compliant with our sideyard setback house. >> It tells you what and can't do >> versus, you know, you don't. >> Yeah, you guys can decide what that's just my recommendation.
>> Expand the definition of that. So Jamie, what did you want to pointed at? >> You were saying point it at some >> signs their own house. >> What if we wanted a casino in here? >> Are they going to fix the lighting TV?
>> We're going to build it north of town. >> So what do you want to do? Strike it. Leave it. >> The last line. Everybody was calling 911 for long time. >> That's the Phoenix lights all over again. >> Everybody good with striking it
>> or rewarding it or I would reward it. >> My house. I got new light bulbs and they're super bright. So, I'd be in violation because it it reflects off the neighbor's house. >> I don't know. I got my pictures and stuff. I >> don't know. light shall be aimed at the front fade or the signs on the building
when and I don't think technically you even need to add in flag pole in there because I think then federal law has the >> states the actual requirements for that >> and via supremacy. >> Yep. >> That that's the that's you don't even need to put that in there. >> No, I agree.
>> So where are we going with this? I think we're going to I don't know what just happened. >> I think I said something. Okay. >> Reward that instead of just striking it. Maybe just reward it. But >> yeah, light light shall be aimed at the
front facade of the building and signs on the building. I'm not saying it the best here, but uh that way it limits it. And then you don't need to add in anything for flags. Uh mainly because federal law already sets those those requirements as it is. to have the
supremacy clause takes over right there. >> Well, I mean, if we're focusing on six, it just off street parking areas. It's just parking lots. >> Street parking. >> Oh, it's just parking lots. I'm not worried about it. >> And maybe we got two wrecked. >> Yeah, maybe that's right. Yeah, like
parking lot, you wouldn't want them facing anywhere but downward anyways. >> Yeah, cuz they're going to just makes much more sense >> because the diffuser shading. You know, cuz previously parking had to be 100 ft away from a residential property. It doesn't anymore. So,
>> could actually be more of an issue now that I think about lighting. >> Then we could strike it based on it just being redundant because the the diffused portion of it uh shaded or diffused reflecting light away would cover the you need to get to >> downward facing style.
>> Yeah. >> Okay. Everybody's good with it. We'll strike it. >> Does that make sense? Does that >> All right. So number six, we're removing or uh page six. Uh number six, lighting uh striking all light fixtures shall be
downcast style. >> Yep. >> Okay. Page five, item two, signs. Sign shall not be located in a parking area except as necessary for disability accessibility and for the orderly
operation of traffic movement. Such signs shall not be part of the permitted advertising space. So, I think of uh out here um you know, everything east of Dollar
General and what if they wanted to put a sign and they wanted a a parking lot say in the front um they can't put a a sign up there at all
>> for themselves. say they wanted to use their own parking lot to to put one on that they would have to safely come have to be outside of the parking area >> in the boulevard or green space. So you're saying like a sign for the
business, the name of the business. >> Yeah. So parking lot, >> say if they kind of like Dollar General here, how they have the parking lot up front, but Dollar General's got the sign off to the side >> of their area. But like what if what if
uh we find somebody to go just east of them and they wanted to make that whole area parking lot. So they would have to end up going outside of the parking lot to put a sign up. they couldn't use a corner of their parking lot where
they're already grading or anything like just think about like a a massive Perkins sign or something, you know? Um that's kind of what I think about. >> Yeah. All this says it just can't be located in the in the parking area,
>> which I think Dollar General is like that, right? Their sign isn't in their parking area. >> It's in the green space. >> Yeah, it's outside. >> And then Quick Shifts is going to be next to theirs, too. Well, like on that corner. >> It's going to be in the green space on the corner. >> Yeah.
I'm just throwing it out there because I I'm just kind of curious how we would handle that if and clearly as it's written outside the parking lot, >> right? >> Yeah. live, they'd either have to mount the sign to a light pole
or in some median or if it was ground mounted be on the ground there. >> That's how I'm kind of reading that. >> And they can apply for like a variance, right? Uh, anyone can apply for a variance, you
know, just if they meet the statutory requirements to issue one. >> Okay. All right. >> So, we're leaving uh page five, number two signs. We're leaving that alone. >> Yeah. All right. So,
>> I just wanted it to find that was it. Make anybody else got anything else to >> No. Add modify. >> Page 12. >> Item number three for location. A.

to have or just the option for the city to incorporate that into that zone. You just going to keep it the way it is? >> No removal of it. Uh, but as far as because if you look at your zoning map right now, you have it labeled for a
park in N2 district for the dog park. >> Oh, interesting. >> No, good catch. >> So, we have already existing park in the I2. >> Yeah. What the city has done is in the past is
is resone the properties to PF public facilities. >> So no change. >> Okay. Park is >> Well, I mean on here it's already showed as a park, but it's in an I2 area, but

All right, Mr. Chair. Um, any other recommendations? I just want to make sure that we got everything. I don't have any. Anybody else? Additions, changes. >> Jamie,
>> not in that part. No. >> All right. Uh, additional permitted use, permitted accessory, conditional use to continue on the review and discussion here. Additional permitted use, permitted accessories, conditional use, and prohibited use is in the commercial industrial districts. Uh, there's a
recommendation of the incorporating indoor firing range, uh, shooting range, uh, zoning and definition. I just grabbed this from the state. shooting range or range means an area or facility designated or operated primary for the
use of firearms or archery. I I do know we have a firearms expert here. >> I was going to say who recommended that not him. >> Not not commissioner Ku, >> but otherwise uh that was brought up. Uh
were the recommen council member what are you thinking with that? >> The eyes. So I1 or I1 I2. >> If we can find a spot to put it in OI, go for it, too. But I don't think there's anything open over there.
>> Should do B2 as well. >> So I got a B2. >> Yeah, we can do that. >> I1, I2, and CA. >> And CI. Uh, Commissioner Conu, you got a better
definition for me >> for the range itself or for ranges. >> I need a definition for indoor firing range or or I need a definition >> uh any building or facility with sufficient back stop to uh contain
um ballistic projectiles. Uh that'd be good off the top of my head. You know what? They went through a conditional use to see >> our state definition. >> This is the state definition. >> That's Yeah, they had to because it's in the mill
>> and I I pulled this from the state. So, I just want to make sure are we okay with this definition or how do we facility designated operate firearms or archery? Pretty broad. Yeah. Yeah. And you don't need to get specific with calipers and that's fine.
>> Okay. >> Yep. >> All right. So, that's a major or a change or addition to B2, I1, I2s, and then CI. Uh, also brought forward micro brewery zoning and definition. I just pulled this from Elco New Market. uh for
an example I know that all along during this process I believe the uh planning commission was under the or was in support of with our with distill distill sorry I'm getting my tongue's getting
tired distillation process was more or less micro brewery or um >> micro distillery >> micro distillery so I just pulled this from the city of Elco new market do we want to add this uh brewery definition,
brewery, and then brewery small. Uh and then if so, what zoning districts is this going in? Uh B3, B2, C1, and then uh
just for kicks and giggles, uh >> B1. Hey, what if we get a big brewery like >> Oh, I as well which we did put indoor firing range in oi. Right,
>> Cory? >> I'm sorry, sir. What? >> We put indoor firing range in oi as well. Right. >> No, I have B2, I1, I2, CI. >> Put it uh Yeah, if you could reflect it in OI. >> Got it. Oi. And then brewer. Okay.
Brewery and then small brewery. I got B1, B3, B2, and then CI. >> Yeah, you could probably throw it in industrial as well. I too
>> cost a board. >> Yeah, across the board. >> Yeah, pretty much. Yeah. >> All right. Uh micro distillery zoning and definition a facility which manufactures process warehouses distill liquor for wholesale distribution and
offsale packages or retail liquor establishment. Um are we going across the board here too? >> I would are these all permitted or conditional? >> Permitted. >> Permitted. Okay.
All right. So, micro distillery B1, B2, B3, I1, I2, and then the original business park, and then CI um touched on this one earlier. Incorporation of butcher shop, meat
market to livestock feeding yards, slaughterhouse. We're going to separate that out. >> Yeah, I would. And then further discuss building design. Okay. Next up on the list, further discuss building design, construction materials, restrictions of
commercial and industrial districts. Um, Council Member Vosipka sent me these changes. Uh, we're on page 8 of 11 of your packet here. Uh, CI, uh, we're looking at 8 B1,
the incorporation of brick off break, I'm sorry, breakoff brick, breakoff block. Jumping down to nine. Uh other exterior wall products, materials of similar quality and appearance as those materials previously
listed determined by the council. Uh with recommendation from planning and zoning, building inspector, planning and zoning and building inspector. Uh moving to >> so let's see other exterior wall
products materials of similar quality appearance as those materials previously listed as determined by the council. So, we want to have a consultant kind of dictate what we're going to put down
with recommendations by the council has the final say. >> All right, moving forward. just want to say as determined >> by council. >> Originally it said as determined by planning and zoning commission and building inspector. So the council is
going to take into consideration what they say and then make the final decision. >> I mean how often do you guys solicit the feedback from the building inspector? >> Uh none. No, just remove it.
>> And when we did it was That's not my job. >> Weird. >> Seriously, >> that is correct. >> Yeah. >> Start doing that. >> All right. So, what are we doing with number nine here? Uh, so similar quality
experience materials previously listed determined by council with recommendations from >> planning and zoning. planning and zoning. >> Yeah, we're moving building. >> It's not his job. >> I moved on to page nine of 11. Uh a
change here. Building over re lowering it down from 10,000 to 6,000 square ft and area size at grade floor. many incorporating up to 75% pre-finished metal metal siding on
exterior side walls. Metal siding may not be used on exterior walls along collector and artway roadways. Uh unpainted, unfinished, or galvanized metal shall be permitted as accent.
So, I just want to make sure we're we're still in the CI here and moving that building. Um uh we're decreasing from 10,000 to 6,000 uh with the 75 pre 75% prefinished metal and siding and then addition of
unpainted unfinished or galvanized metal shall be permitted as this accent. Uh we're still in the CI here. We're midway through the page. We're down to G. All mechanical equipment whether roof mounted or ground mounted shall be
completely screened from ground level view of adjacent properties and public road. So there's a recommendation to remove that altogether. Correct. >> Yep. >> We're going to have to shave off the top of 19 that hill going out of town.
>> Yeah. You see half the building's roofs right out there. So we're screening it and you're just going to see it anyways. All right, I'm going to keep on going here. So, as far as metal buildings, you know, it says in the case of metal buildings, the planning commission shall
prefer masonry, other types of construction shall be considered during plan review. Planning commission will make a final recommendation to the council. What is the planning commission looking for when considering a metal building? I guess I'm just still looking for
direction of staff because if that request does come in I mean what do we just >> we want hidden fastener? Do we want open it up completely? >> Wayne's coding you know
>> do commercial buildings. So, I guess I just don't want to say, "Yeah, we'll consider it." Be nice to say, "Yes, we will, but make sure you look at, you know, this, this, this, and this." We need some direction
on what to look for. I mean, I don't see anybody here that's building commercial buildings on a regular basis. So, >> well, it just comes down to what you want to see out there. Yeah, >> I think uh as far as like the 75% metal sighting, I think it would be
reasonable to state like, hey, you know, we want that first quarter to be something that's just not going to be eaten apart when you say you go and we whip around there, you run into it with a forklift or whatever, you know, it's
it's protecting that that bottom layer, but then build off of it with steel. And I mean, you don't have to hide the fasteners or anything. I mean, we're not talking rivets or whatever else, but you know, I look at it from this aspect,
too, because um well, I don't know if a lot of you had seen it yet or not, but uh we ended up having the Southern Side of Commerce sold to Dayton Freight. And earlier this last year when I was looking at trying
to get business in it was our design standards were so high that it was hard for a lot of businesses to make that investment to build what it was. So I looked at it from the case of well somebody wanted to slap some pearlings up and put some steel paneling up and
just make it look nice. you know, and if you grow, you grow. You know, it's easier for you to expand on to that um than it is tip up panels. Um that's how I kind of viewed it. Now, I know with planning and zoning,
you know, it's going to be the question of well, what is it that, you know, we would like to see? At the end of the day, we want to make sure that that building is insulated, making sure that, you know, it lasts a long time. It's not going to get faded over the years. Um, I'm sure they're going to take care of
it and then they're going to sell it. Um, potentially down the road, but we allowed an I2. Some of the uh businesses even in the industrial park, you know, they're uh they got middle sighting, too, and they look nice. Our public
service building looks nice. I would I would hold it to the same standards as maybe our our public works building, to be honest with you. It's a nice building. That's kind of where I sit with it. But it's a really cost effective way to put
a building up and get, you know, say a smaller business in and then let them grow and then easy to expand on to it. >> Makes sense. >> Yeah, >> makes sense. >> I mean, trying to get a business in,
even if it's a small business, at least they got a place to start, >> right? We're not bankrupting >> and I think we're just looking at something that looks nice, right? >> Yeah. >> I mean, a perfect case in point is uh the
outdoor um equipment off of uh 19 kind of kitty corner away from Casey's right next to uh Tuma's. Oh, you know that that building looks pretty pretty slick. So,
>> did that answer your question? No. Thank you. >> Okay. >> All right. We last left off of striking uh all mechanical equipment whether roof mounted on ground mounted or or ground mounted shall be completely screened from the ground level. Uh striking that
removal of that. Moving on to page 10 of 11. uh lighting shall or removing or I'm at C the very top sentence light directed upward is prohibited external lit signs displays building and aesthetic lighting must be lit from the top and shine
downward so striking removing that um further discussion with uh commercial industrial district specific standards we're in B3 we're halfway in the p the middle of the page there B3 district
strike at least 40% of the front face of the building on the first floor shall have windows. Moving down to number six. Uh minimum occupancy already does this. So that's a removal maximum density of
six residents per lot parcel. uh changing minimal dwelling unit uh from 600 to 500 square f feet per dwelling unit. And then flipping over to page 11 of 11,
I2 and I2 district changing um 50 to 25% of the front of a metal building must be masonary, glass, galvanized or accent or other material approved by the planning commission.
Front is defined as the first floor of the side of the building facing the street. All right. again on many many changes here. >> Um let's open it up for discussion. Uh is there any other proposed changes
here? >> Um get rid of the trash enclosures >> and that is in all zoning districts. >> All zoning districts basically it's an added expense that they don't need to incur. If they want to go for it if they
don't put them up don't complain when the public's using your dumpster. thoughts, comments. >> Uh, number seven, the 500 square ft per dwelling unit that matches the market analysis that we had done for the
apartment. Correct. That's why I did it. >> Perfect. >> Defined as the first floor on the side of the building facing the street. So, if we're looking at if we're looking at uh
the land that we currently have, you know, between Dollar General and and Tron, what street are is it the access that the the street to access the building?
>> That's the way I read it. >> Yeah. >> Okay. wouldn't be 19. 19 would be the back side. >> That's where I always had a question about it. Wouldn't you want the 19 side to be the prettier side? >> Yeah. That that's just the trick is you
don't know which way to face your building. >> Mhm. Because the other thing is is you know the hotel that came up you know and I was sitting there thinking about that too is well wouldn't you want wouldn't you want the front of the hotel
facing commerce you know so then that way you drive in and you load up you know and not saying we're doing that hotel right now but it's just a for consideration too is which way do
you pick the front of your Mhm. >> CI is the definite drawback on that one. >> Mhm. >> We're all good with the dumpsters, removing the enclosures for dumpsters. >> Yeah. >> Okay. Anybody else have anything else?
Think we're good. >> All right. So, Mr. Chair, there's still a lot of changes that need to be updated to this. Um, I'm going to do the best I can to update and get this or and have this presentable for uh I'm hoping we consider approval for public hearing at
the next meeting. And I did not put down a time yet because I was hoping that we were going to change that time. So, I'm looking for a motion. I am looking for a consider approval or a motion to consider approval to schedule a public hearing on February I
think it's 23rd 2026 for ordinance 2026 340 at 7:00 p.m. or shortly thereafter uh for city for amending city code 153.040 zoning districts.
>> Okay, we entertain a motion. >> Motion motion by Mark Harding. Second. >> Second by Mike Ku. >> All in favor? >> I >> I All opposed. >> Carries forward.
>> All right. So, um and I'm taking that's part of 11 other business, right? >> 11A. >> Yeah. Is that correct, Cory? >> Yes, that is correct. So, February 23rd, uh, it was brought to our attention during the public, uh, public, uh,
hearing for, uh, 2026, uh, uh, fees or the fee schedule to bring back, uh, review and consider amending ordinance 2024 322, an ordinance amending city code 153.07, accessory buildings, structures, and
uses. We will see that at on the uh, February 23rd agenda. >> Okay. >> And then, Mr. Chair, our upcoming meeting Monday, February 23rd, 2026 at 6:45 p.m. Is there anything else that >> to 700 p.m.?
>> 7:00 p.m. That is correct. >> My phone again. >> Um there's no further discussion. This uh looking for a motion to um adjourn the meeting tonight. Motion.
>> Motion by Mike Harding. >> Second. >> Second by Mike Tanya. All in favor? I >> oppose. None. Carries forward. >> Say why introduce so well. It's
