Ames Planning and Zoning Commission approves agenda and minutes, backs two rezoning recommendations and moves to email packet distribution
Summary
The commission approved the meeting agenda and minutes, recommended City Council approval for two rezoning requests (204 SE 2nd Street and ISU Research Park Phase 4), discussed packet distribution changes to email, and adjourned.
At its meeting, the Ames Planning and Zoning Commission approved the agenda and the Nov. 19, 2025 minutes by voice vote, and recommended City Council approval for two rezoning items: a mixed‑use master plan for 204 Southeast 2nd Street (HOC to NC) and a split rezoning for a 15.25‑acre portion of ISU Research Park Phase 4 (Agricultural to Research Park Innovation District). Staff will forward both items to City Council for final action.
Commissioners also discussed administrative matters: staff proposed shifting packet distribution to email notification with printed copies available at the dais; commissioners supported the change and staff said it would be implemented for future meetings. Staff noted City Council will consider requests for development incentives on Dec. 9 and that a comprehensive zoning‑ordinance rewrite remains on the work plan for next year.
The meeting concluded with a motion to adjourn that passed by voice vote.
