What was decided

  1. Continued 1Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) Text Amendment – Omnibus Amendments Tabled to the July 1 committee meeting for lack of time

Read from the agenda's recorded outcomes. Where the board published minutes, those are the record — this is a pointer to them.

What's on this agenda

The ordinance review committee, meeting straight after the regular board with 85 pages of proposed development ordinance amendments in front of it. Attendance is voluntary and no quorum is needed - this is where the text is worked over before the board recommends on it.

The package is the planning director's omnibus set, and it kept coming back: the committee took it again on 1 July, 12 August and 2 September, each time carried forward. Much of it is the table of permitted uses, the grid that decides which uses are allowed, allowed with conditions, or need a special use permit in each zoning district - farm supply stores, feed mills, commercial stables, stockyards and livestock markets among them.
