Commission backs recommending supervisors remove broad 'business' catch‑all from CI district code
Summary
The planning commission voted to recommend that supervisors remove the generic 'business' use from section 27803 of the CI district code, saying the catch‑all invites ambiguity; staff will notify county to start the 30‑day review clock.
Commissioners voted to recommend that the board of supervisors amend the township code by striking a broadly phrased "business" use from the CI (commercial/industrial) district.
Speaker 3 argued the current language creates a catch‑all that can be abused and makes the code harder to enforce: "It's a catch all that we don't want." After discussion, Speaker 3 moved and Tom (named in the meeting) seconded a motion recommending supervisors pursue the code change (section 27803). The Chair called for the vote and the motion passed by voice vote.
Speaker 3 said if the commission approves the motion tonight staff can notify county, which must have a 30‑day review period. Commissioners agreed the change would require a formal code amendment and county notification; the commission instructed staff to begin that process.
Next steps: staff to prepare the code amendment language, notify county for the 30‑day review and forward a recommendation to the supervisors for their consideration.
