Council hears proposed zoning-code changes adding four new districts and converting some uses to conditional status

Planning staff presented proposed amendments to Chapter 44 (Ordinance No. 774) that would add four new zoning districts — Neighborhood Commercial, Mixed Use, Rural Residential and Commercial Flex — and update landscaping and buffer requirements between commercial and residential uses. The planning director told the council the land‑use table would be updated to include the new zones and that specific uses such as casinos, liquor establishments and data centers would be moved to conditional use status.
