Lebanon council approves traffic and zoning changes, tables golf‑cart fee
Summary
The Lebanon City Council approved three ordinances on second reading — a three‑way stop at Grant Boulevard/Angelie Way, amendments to the Hickory Junction PUD, and text changes to the Unified Development Ordinance — and tabled a proposed golf‑cart permit fee increase for additional notice.
At its meeting the Lebanon City Council approved multiple ordinances on second reading and took one item off the table for later notice. The council amended the city traffic schedule to add a three‑way stop at Angelie Way and Grant Boulevard after staff described the change as a response to neighborhood requests and neighbors expressed appreciation. The council approved the motion by voice vote.
The council also approved Ordinance 2026‑02, an amendment to the Hickory Junction Planned Unit Development (PUD) that eliminates a 20‑foot maximum front setback for certain commercial outlots and replaces it with no minimum front setback to provide flexibility for lots with multiple frontages. Staff said the Plan Commission recommended the amendment 6–0 after reviewing site constraints that made the previous 20‑foot rule impractical for some outlots.
Council approved Ordinance 2026‑03, a collection of text amendments to the Unified Development Ordinance (UDO). Kevin, a staff presenter, described corrections to use tables, clarifications to garage and building setbacks (a 25‑foot garage setback behind a 20‑foot minimum building setback), reversal of a typographical reversal in the utility impact permitting chart (making major impact utility projects conditional), alignment of solar project drainage language with the stormwater ordinance, restrictions limiting data centers to the LEAP district mega‑site, site visibility triangle corrections, revisions to parking charts and sign standards, additions to utility oversight where wells or septic systems are required, and a short‑term rental definition.
Council postponed consideration of Ordinance 2026‑04, a proposed golf‑cart permit fee increase from $30 to $50, after determining the fee change had not been re‑noticed and therefore needed at least a 10‑day public notice; the item was tabled for the next meeting by voice vote.
Votes: all approvals were by voice vote; the record shows motions made, seconded and approved with no roll‑call tallies presented in the transcript. No amendments to the ordinances were adopted during the meeting. The planning commission recommendations referenced in the record appeared as 6–0 for the PUD and UDO items; the UDO packet included redlined exhibits and cross‑references for council review.
The council moved on to new business after completing the old business agenda.
