Summary

Council rescinded Resolution #2025-159 related to using dense vegetative cover in lieu of a fence and staff said the property owner has until July 1, 2026 to comply or face enforcement action.

The City Council voted to rescind Resolution #2025-159 concerning use of dense vegetative cover in a B‑1 Highway Business District as an alternative to a fence under City Code. The motion to rescind was made by Councilmember Jeremy Engholm, seconded by Vice Mayor Liz Stone, and carried unanimously.

City Administrator Angel Weasner explained the city had sent the property owner a letter requiring compliance and said, "we sent them a letter and if they do not comply, we will come back to the council for an enforcement action." She added the timeline allowed until July 1, 2026 to install vegetation because of seasonal planting constraints: "we did give them until July 1st just because of the time of year right now, you can’t get anything to live essentially."
