Commission flags sports‑court policy and residential use in commercial zones after public comment
Summary
A resident told the commission that allowing residential uses in commercial or mixed‑use zones helps sustain businesses; commissioners also noted the need to address sports courts built on vacant lots without residences and asked staff to consider code language changes.
During public comment and item discussion, resident Allysa Lloyd told the commission that permitting residential uses in commercial or mixed‑use zones can help keep commercial areas viable. Commissioners agreed the point merited consideration while they continue the Title 15 review.
Separately, Planning Commission liaison Sandy Hunter (absent) had asked through Commissioner Poulter that the commission consider language addressing sports courts constructed on lots that do not have a residence; the commission supported reviewing that scenario in code updates so that residential remains the primary use in the R‑1 zone. No formal action was taken; commissioners instructed staff and members to address the issue in future Title 15 edits.
