Motion carried A staff report was given by Administrator Statz and City Planner Phil Carlson on the proposed changes to the downtown zoning district boundaries and code language. Administrator Statz explained that the M-1 district was being shrunk to reflect the realities of the retail market (M1 requires retail on the first floor of all buildings). The former M-1 zoned properties would become M-2, where retail space is an option, but not a requirement. Code language changes focused on allowing accessory structures, under various conditions, to be constructed in the M-1 and M-2 districts as well as aligning the Downtown Master plan more closely with the code.
