City Council Debates and Amends Zoning Ordinance Permitted Use Table

The City Council reviewed and discussed proposed amendments to the permitted use table within Chapter 15, Article 15.02 of the zoning ordinance. The planning and zoning department presented its recommended changes, which were then deliberated by the council. The process involved clarifying the intent of different zoning districts and uses, and the council made decisions on specific uses, often by agreeing to recommendations, modifying them (e.g., adding or removing Special Use Permits), or rejecting them. The discussion focused on ensuring consistency and appropriateness of uses within various zones, with an emphasis on not relying on the zoning map but on the nature of the use itself. The council also decided to address other aspects of the permitted use table and related code provisions in future meetings.
