Planning staff presented a set of refinements to Chapter 12 (definitions) of the Unified Development Ordinance and the commission voted to forward a favorable recommendation to the Town Council.

Staff said the draft added definitions for art center/gallery, artisan workshop, amphitheater/outdoor venue, data center, light vehicle equipment sales/rental/service, manufacturing (heavy and light), museum, stadium/theater, and clarified public utility definitions (including an explicit reference to the Indiana Code statutory definition). The updates also reorganized and removed duplicative definitions.

Commissioners raised a few editorial items (a spelling correction in a retail category was noted) and asked staff to supply the updated, printed version of the table that matched screens shown at the meeting. Staff said they would provide the corrected printed materials and continue refining definitions as the ordinance proceeds to council.

The commission voted to forward a favorable recommendation to Town Council on the Chapter 12 draft.
