Summary
The council unanimously approved the Martin's Meadows final plat, Ordinances 49‑62, 49‑63 and 49‑64 (annexation and zoning measures), Resolution 20‑26‑15 amending the future land use map and the statement of relevant criteria for CNC 26‑1; roll calls were taken for each action and all motions carried.
The Lewiston City Council approved several land‑use and policy items during its meeting, adopting a final plat and multiple ordinances and resolutions related to annexation and zoning.
Martin's Meadows final plat: The council considered a final plat to replat roughly 2.41 acres of Lot 7 in the Martin's Meadows addition into seven residential lots on the south side of Alder Avenue between 17th and 18th streets. Councilor Klein moved to approve the Martin's Meadows second addition final plat and associated findings; Councilor Morey seconded. The clerk conducted a roll call and all voting members recorded aye; the motion carried and the plat was approved.
Ordinance No. 49‑62 (annexation): Council moved to dispense with multiple readings and combined the second and third readings; the council then waived the third reading in full and approved Ordinance No. 49‑62 by title, an ordinance implementing the council decision in Annex 26‑1 to annex land into Lewiston City limits. A subsequent motion to adopt Ordinance No. 49‑62 and approve the related ordinance summary passed on a roll call of ayes.
Resolution 20‑26‑15 (comprehensive plan amendment): The council considered and adopted Resolution 20‑26‑15 to implement CPA 26‑1, amending the City of Lewiston's future land use map. After identifying a typographical numbering issue, the council withdrew and restated the motion and re‑called the roll; the resolution was adopted by unanimous vote.
Ordinance No. 49‑63 (zoning of newly annexed property) and Ordinance No. 49‑64 (area of city impact map): The council dispensed with multiple readings for each ordinance, waived the third reading and approved both ordinances by roll call, amending the official zoning map to include newly annexed property in an R‑2 low density residential zone and updating the city's area of impact boundary map. The council also adopted the related ordinance summaries.
Other approvals: The council voted to approve the recent statement of relevant criteria and standards for CNC 26‑1.
