Planning Commission Meeting – Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance Revisions – Work Session #3 – July 9, 2025 2 WORK SESSION TOPICS At the second work session, the Planning Commission provided feedback on the lot and site standards for non-residential and mixed use districts, as well as thoughts on comments on a number of general development standards (parking and EV charging, signage, landscaping, exterior storage, and outdoor lighting). The City Council reviewed the recommendations for updates to lot and site standards and was generally in agreement. The Council has taken additional time to work through the use tables, as well as the general development standards, so these sections are still being revised. Draft zoning text for these topics will be forwarded to the Planning Commission once they are available. Following the second work session, HKGi received a few comments from Commissioners and worked to incorporate this feedback into the revisions. Commissioner comments mostly confirmed the direction of the recommendations that were provided , though asked a few additional clarifying questions or made minor suggestions for consideration. There are three topics that will be discussed at the third work session: • Use Specific Standards • Subdivision Regulations • Procedures Use Specific Standards Use Specific Standards are requirements associated with uses listed in zoning use tables. These standards are typically applied when uses are approved as Permitted with Standards or as Conditional Uses. The common theme is that the City has identified certain standards that should apply regardless of the circumstances surrounding a given application, and these are included in the text of the zoning chapter. If a use is Permitted with Standards, the requirements are evaluated by staff to determine if they are being met before issuing a permit. If a use requires a Conditional Use Permit, these same standards must be followed but there may be other requirements that would be determined as part of the public process. There are approximately a dozen uses in the zoning text today that have specific standards associated with them (see attachment for a summary of these standards): • Assisted Living PUD • Automobile Service Stations • Clinics • Drive-up Windows • Financial Institutions & Service • Hotel / Motel • Multiple ad Two-Family Dwelling Units • Restaurants • Retail Sales & Service • School Uses, General Education and Higher Education
