Council approves second reading of Chapter 167 site-plan amendment; attempt to waive third reading fails
Summary
The Osceola City Council approved the second reading of an amendment to Chapter 167 on site-plan requirements but an attempt to waive the third reading failed for lack of a supermajority, keeping a further formal vote required at a future meeting.
The Osceola City Council on July 16 advanced an amendment to Chapter 167 of the city code concerning site-plan requirements, approving the measure on its second reading. Council member George Fotiadis moved for the second reading approval and Council member Dan Hooper seconded; the roll call vote recorded four ayes and the second reading carried.
Council member Thomas Bahls later moved, with Jose Vargas seconding, to waive the third reading so the ordinance could be adopted sooner. Council member Dan Hooper voted nay on the waiver motion, which the clerk noted required a supermajority. Because the waiver failed for lack of a supermajority, the ordinance will require the remaining statutory reading(s) before final adoption.
No substantive details of the amendment text beyond the title 'Pertaining to Site Plan Requirements' were read into the record at the meeting; the council did not adopt the ordinance at this session and scheduled no immediate final adoption vote.
The council also discussed other pending ordinances (a noise ordinance and a commercial vehicle parking ordinance) but took no action on those items at the July 16 meeting.
