Council advances and approves package of zoning ordinance amendments and traffic change; all items carried on roll call
Summary
The council approved a series of zoning ordinance amendments adjusting accessory-structure size rules across multiple residential districts, added a stop sign at 12th and Grant, and confirmed routine consent items; motions were moved and seconded and each item passed on roll call.
The city council on Monday moved a package of zoning ordinance amendments and routine items, approving second and final readings on a set of ordinances that alter accessory-structure size limits across residential zoning districts and adding a stop sign to the city traffic map.
The council first approved the consent agenda, including claims and the treasurer's report for October and a correction to the minutes noting that an appointment (Luke Matson) had been submitted but that the appointee was not physically present when the minutes were drafted. Afterward councilmembers read and advanced the following ordinances to final action: Ordinance 24-90 (amending accessory-structure limits in one zoning district), Ordinance 24-91 (R-1), Ordinance 24-92 (R-2), Ordinance 24-93 (R-3) and Ordinance 24-94 (mobile-home park zoning). The council also took up Ordinance 24-95, which adds a stop sign at 12th and Grant Street and updates the city's traffic-control map.
Clerks read each ordinance's title and the standard severability clause before the council moved to suspend the rules where necessary, call for a motion and carry out roll-call votes. Councilmembers responded in the affirmative during roll call for each item; the clerk recorded the approvals and the ordinances were ordained by the mayor and council as read.
The votes were conducted by roll call with individual councilmembers responding “Yes” during the record; the meeting transcript records affirmative roll-call responses for each ordinance and no recorded 'no' votes during the roll calls.
The council did not discuss substantive substantive changes to the ordinance texts during the meeting; each item was presented as a code amendment to chapter/article/section of the municipal code and carried through standard second/final-reading procedure.
The meeting moved on after the ordinances to consider several land-use items, a discussion about utility-billing responsibilities and other open-discussion items before adjourning.
