Council adopts limited comprehensive plan amendments including a rezoning at Highway 17 and Broadway (Ordinance 3092)
Summary
The council held a public hearing, received no testimony, and adopted Ordinance 3092 to implement planning-commission recommendations that re-designate roughly 20 acres at Highway 17 and Broadway from commercial to industrial and update water and sewer policy references.
Senior planner Nathan Pate summarized proposed 2025 comprehensive plan amendments that include a map change (gateway commercial/commercial to industrial/light industrial at the Highway 17–Broadway intersection), updates incorporating current water and wastewater system plans into the comp plan, and flexible language for Urban Growth Area (UGA) connections for water and sewer.
Pate said the planning commission held a hearing and recommended approval; staff incorporated comments from state agencies including the Department of Commerce and noted the property contains some wetlands but is largely cleared for development. After closing the public hearing (no speakers signed up), council deliberated briefly and a council member moved to approve Ordinance 3092 as presented. The motion was seconded and passed unanimously.
The council record will reflect planning-commission findings by reference; the council may modify findings of fact at adoption if it chooses, but it accepted the recommendation and adopted the ordinance at the meeting.
Ending: Ordinance 3092 was adopted without amendment at the March 24 meeting; staff will execute the map and code changes and publish the ordinance.
