Council delays Mercado zoning item pending city attorney findings
Summary
Council discussion about a small Mercado on 1st Street focused on whether zoning-commission conditions and appeals had been processed correctly; the council agreed to hold the item for one day while awaiting the city attorney’s findings and, if unresolved, send it to the PLUM committee.
Councilmembers discussed a special item concerning a small Mercado on 1st Street and whether required notice and appeal processes had been followed.
A speaker who identified the item as "special" said the project had gone through the zoning administrator and planning commission, which imposed conditions, and that appeals had been filed and heard by the PLUM committee. The speaker objected to reintroducing a motion that would impose the planning commission’s conditions without confirming that proper notice—specifically for a Rule 16 motion—had been given.
Another councilmember said they concurred with the planning commission’s conditions but agreed that the city attorney should advise the council on the proper notice and procedural steps. The council agreed to continue the item for one day to allow the city attorney to provide findings; if unresolved, members said they would put the matter back to the PLUM committee the following week.
