City of Gem Lake Planning Commission Meeting Minutes February 12, 2024 2 | Page regulations and restrictions of a beekeeping ordinance, there are some questions to begin considering how permitting beekeeping may look. If the City wishes to allow beekeeping, there are different options the city can adopt. If the city knows they want to permit beekeeping, and have an idea for the permit/licensing process, the standards and requirements for beekeeping uses would then need to be considered. There are a number of items to consider with beekeeping. Initially, the commissioners should determine if this is a use that should be permitted within the city. If yes, then the focus should lead into the permitting process and what standards or requirements would apply. If no, the commissioners should discuss next steps to prohibit them within the city. After some discussion of the information presented and how the commission would like to pursue this topic, the commission is in favor of adding a section to the current agricultural animal ordinance No. 142 and requests the Ms. Sycks create a draft section for further discussion. Ms. Sycks will work on getting a draft section for the commission to review at the March 12 commission meeting to begin review and make additional suggestions.
