pertaining to permitting, enforcement, non-conforming conditions. The Commission will hold a public hearing at the next available Planning and Zoning Commission meeting. No Parking Areas Review At their November 1 meeting, the Planning and Zoning Commission reviewed a map of the City’s existing no parking areas and designated parking areas, as well as parking on one side of the street, etc. This was brought to the Planning and Zoning Commission for discussion because of the recent reconstruction of downtown; post- construction, there may be room for parking on one side of the street. Previously in downtown, the streets were very narrow, there was no curb and gutter, and a mix of no parking areas. The Commission discussed overnight parking, seasonal overnight parking, no parking areas, designated parking areas, and signage. The Commission agreed to bring this item back for discussion in December and hold a public hearing in January or February. Amazon Fence Change Request The city has received communication from Amazon’s representatives that they do not intend to seek changes to the Conditional Use Permit for a Planed Unit Development to allow the addition of barbed wire to their planned fence around the truck docks on the west side of the building.
