Council adopts rezoning, mobile-food code changes and dissolves two project-district plans
Summary
On second reading the council adopted several ordinances: rezoned 702 S. Adams (Ordinance 36-11), rezoned ~20.2 acres (36-12, adopted 4–0 with one abstention), removed and then re-established mobile food provisions to align with the state 'Food Truck Freedom Act' (36-13 and 36-14), and terminated two project plans/districts (36-15 and 36-16).
The Stillwater City Council on July 7 adopted a slate of ordinances on second reading covering rezonings, mobile-food regulation and the termination of two project plan districts.
The council adopted Ordinance 36-11 to rezone 702 South Adams Street from small-lot single-family residential to a public zoning district, voting 5–0. Ordinance 36-12 rezoned approximately 20.2 acres (addresses cited in the record) from commercial general to two-family and multifamily; that ordinance passed by a vote of 4–0 with one councilor abstaining.
On local regulation of mobile food vendors, the council first adopted Ordinance 36-13, which removed mobile food service references and definitions from multiple code sections, and then adopted Ordinance 36-14 to create a new article and sections for mobile food service establishments aligned with state law. A council member noted this change "makes us congruent with the state law," referring to the Food Truck Freedom Act. Both ordinances passed 5–0.
The council also adopted Ordinance 36-15 to terminate the Stillwater West 51 District project plan and dissolve Increment District Number 2 (originally approved by ordinance 33-39 on May 16, 2016) and Ordinance 36-16 to terminate the Boomer Lake Station project plan and dissolve Increment District Number 4 (originally adopted by ordinance 34-65 on Dec. 14, 2020). Both dissolutions were adopted 5–0.
Votes at a glance: - Ordinance 36-11 (rezoning 702 S. Adams): adopted 5–0. - Ordinance 36-12 (rezoning ~20.2 acres): adopted 4–0, 1 abstention. - Ordinance 36-13 (remove mobile food definitions): adopted 5–0. - Ordinance 36-14 (create mobile food provisions; align with Food Truck Freedom Act): adopted 5–0. - Ordinance 36-15 (terminate Stillwater West 51 District project plan): adopted 5–0. - Ordinance 36-16 (terminate Boomer Lake Station project plan): adopted 5–0.
Why this matters: the rezoning decisions change land-use designations for development or public use; the mobile-food code changes align local rules with state law; dissolving district project plans changes the governance/financial structure for those redevelopment areas.
Next steps: ordinances adopted on second reading take effect per city code; staff will update zoning maps and administrative code sections accordingly.
