PLANNING & ZONING At its meeting on 10/4, the following issues were discussed: City Code Updates Discharge of Firearms The city's legal counsel was on hand to discuss what can and cannot be regulated by local ordinances related to various categories of weapons, such as guns, muzzle loaders and bow and arrow. The commission discussed how to balance public safety and nuisances with property owner rights. Formal code changes will be brought forward at an upcoming meeting for further consideration. Development Amazon — Request for Changes to Fencing Plan Representatives from Amazon's project management team presented a request to add barbed wire to fencing around its truck dock area on the site currently under construction. The commission expressed a mixture of opinion on the issue. City Code prohibits the use of barbed wire, except in agricultural areas, but the development was approved under a Planned Unit Development (PUD), which allows for flexibility. Amazon's representatives will decide whether or not to pursue a formal request to amend the PUD. The Commission may also explore changes to city code to allow barbed wire in certain industrial areas.
