Dayton Planning Commission approves site plan and three ordinance amendments, tables A3 comp-plan item
Summary
The commission approved a site plan for a building addition at 17400 113th Ave and adopted ordinance amendments covering exterior lighting, outdoor storage surface allowances and accessory-building height in ag districts; the A3 district amendment was tabled until August.
The Dayton Planning Commission on July 10 approved multiple items and forwarded others for later action.
Approvals - Site plan (17400 113th Ave): The Commission approved a site-plan review for a contractor’s landscaping operation that includes a roughly 780-square-foot office addition, five marked parking stalls, and conditions prohibiting outdoor storage in the south/front yard. The plan will go to City Council for final approval on July 22 (vote 3–0). - Exterior lighting ordinance: The Commission adopted an amendment to promote the city’s dark-sky goals. Key provisions require downcast fixtures (≤90° cutoff), limit light trespass at property lines (single-family/ag ≤0.5 foot-candle; multifamily/commercial/industrial ≤1.0 foot-candle; where adjacent to single-family: ≤0.1 foot-candle), and cap fixture/pole heights at 30 feet for typical installations. Commissioners discussed exemptions for holiday lighting and landscape uplighting before voting to adopt the changes (vote 3–0). - Outdoor storage surface amendment: The Commission approved language allowing the Commission and Council to permit a portion of outdoor storage surface to use engineered recycled materials (class-2 crushed aggregate, recycled asphalt) where appropriate; final permitting will be handled via conditional-use permit to address weed control, tracking, and visual impacts (vote 3–0). - Accessory building height amendment: To align ag-district rules with residential districts, the Commission approved an amendment clarifying accessory buildings may request heights up to 35 feet by conditional-use permit; commissioners discussed how height is measured on sloped lots before approval (vote 3–0).
Tabling - A3 district comprehensive-plan/ordinance amendment: Staff requested more time after plan changes; the Commission voted to table the item and will revisit it at the August meeting (motion passed 3–0).
No items required additional follow-up beyond standard Council or conditional-permit processes. The Commission adjourned after hearing community announcements and updates.
