Albia council approves first reading of zoning code updates after public hearing
Summary
After a public hearing that drew questions about first-floor living in B-1 business districts and upper-floor residential use, the Albia City Council approved the first reading of a zoning-code update on a 5-1 vote; further action will be required to adopt the ordinance.
Mayor Richard Clark convened the Albia City Council June 19, and the council approved the first reading of an ordinance updating the city's zoning code following a public hearing.
Councilmembers opened the hearing to public comment on the proposed zoning updates; attendees asked whether the changes would allow first-floor living spaces in the B-1 business district and rules on upper-floor residential units. With no additional oral or written comments, the council closed the hearing and moved to first reading.
Chris Yarkosky moved to approve the ordinance's first reading and Scott Kelly seconded the motion. The measure passed 5-1, with Councilmember Dennis Conley recording the lone dissent. The first reading advances the zoning changes for further review and future council action.
The transcript does not include the ordinance text in full or an explicit timetable for subsequent readings; the council recorded only the first-reading approval on the record.
