Planning Commission recommends allowing auto repair in I1 zone
Summary
The Hanover Planning Commission on March 24 recommended that the City Council amend the ordinance to allow auto repair uses in the I1 zone, approving the recommendation unanimously while asking staff to clarify parking language.
The Hanover Planning Commission unanimously recommended that City Council amend the zoning ordinance to allow auto repair businesses in the I1 industrial zone. The motion, made by Planning Commission member Jason Mix and seconded by Jim Schendel, included staff memo comments as part of the recommendation.
The recommendation passed with all members present voting in favor. Planning Commission member Cody Vojacek requested that the ordinancelanguage addressing parking be amended for clarity before final adoption, a point the commission recorded for staff follow-up. The minutes show no formal vote tally beyond unanimous approval of the motion to recommend the amendment to council.
The change would allow auto repair uses where they were previously not permitted in the I1 zone; the commission recorded that staff memo comments should be incorporated into the recommended ordinance language. No ordinance number, specific parking-language text, or implementation timeline was specified in the minutes.
The commissionforwarded the recommendation to City Council for its consideration. The Council is scheduled to receive the Draft Council Strategic Planning Report on April 1, 2025, where ordinance amendments such as this are typically considered during subsequent council proceedings.
