Sleepy Eye council calls first reading of Ordinance 237 to rezone two lots in Nelson's Second Addition

At the May 12 meeting of the Sleepy Eye City Council, Councilor Gary Windschitl moved to call for the first reading of Ordinance No. 237, a proposed zoning change affecting Lots 11 and 12, Block 2, Nelson's Second Addition. The motion to call for first reading was recorded in the minutes; subsequent readings and any public hearings were not recorded in this meeting.

The first reading establishes that the ordinance will proceed through the city’s adoption process; the council did not record a second or final reading or a vote to adopt the ordinance at this session. City staff and councilors did not provide further details about the proposed zoning classification or intended use of the parcels in the minutes. Any changes to zoning would require completion of the ordinance process at one or more future council meetings.
