Town to review draft ordinance for Downtown Aberdeen social district before public hearing
Summary
Town staff said the downtown advisory board has recommended boundaries and rules for a social district; the board will review the draft at a work session and schedule a public hearing at a later regular meeting.
Town staff told the Aberdeen board at its Oct. 14 work session that the downtown advisory board has selected recommended boundaries and protocols for a proposed Downtown Aberdeen social district and that staff will prepare a draft ordinance for board consideration.
The board discussed timing and asked to review the draft at a work session before any public hearing. One commissioner said the planning committee had previously examined the idea and that other municipalities have provided useful feedback. Staff said the draft ordinance and protocols will be available to the board when it is ready to proceed; the board indicated a preference to examine the draft at a work session and then set a public hearing for a subsequent regular meeting, likely in November.
The discussion did not include a formal vote on the ordinance; the board instructed staff to prepare the draft and present it at the work session so commissioners could ask detailed questions before a public hearing is scheduled.
