After an extended public comment and deliberation period, the Livingston City Commission approved Resolution 5179 to replace the city’s official zoning map so it aligns with the zoning text amendments adopted earlier in the month (ordinance 3064). City planning staff framed the action as the map companion to a text rewrite: the map applies new mixed‑use categories, reduces some areas of heavier commercial zoning along Park Street to a light‑mixed‑use classification to protect view sheds and character, and assigns planned unit development (PUD) labels where development agreements already exist.

Public commenters, including Randy McFadden, urged closer conformity with the city’s growth policy and warned the proposed map could enable substantial peripheral growth inconsistent with the community plan. Commissioners focused on four issues: the extent of the Central Business District (CBD) and whether it should remain contiguous; the intensity at the city’s northeast entrance (several commissioners favored changing a proposed HMU parcel to R‑1); the appropriateness of LMU or light industrial near the hospital/park areas (some commissioners proposed industrial zoning for specific parcels to avoid housing in flood‑prone areas); and a small set of map corrections to ensure parks and public lands are properly displayed.

Motion and amendments: Commissioner Kale moved to adopt the map with specific amendments: (1) fix CBD boundaries to a contiguous block running from Park Street to Fleshmans Creek and from 3rd to D Streets; (2) rezone a far‑northeast parcel from HMU to R‑1; and (3) reclassify named LMU/light‑industrial parcels near the hospital and the Exit‑333 area to industrial. The motion also directed staff to verify public lands/parks on the map. The roll call vote was unanimous. Separately, the commission asked staff to bring a narrowly targeted text amendment to make hospital/institution uses a conditional use in industrial zones so existing medical facilities could expand without opening the whole use table to revision.
