Summary

The commission approved a project charge to evaluate supporting uses in commercial and industrial areas, including whether and where housing could be allowed; commissioners added a timeline adjustment (drafting Jan–Mar; hearing Apr–May).

Commissioners reviewed a project charge to evaluate supporting uses in commercial and industrial zones and whether housing should be allowed in those areas. Commissioner Michael proposed explicitly adding residential considerations to the project description: "I would add residential to both of them," he said, arguing the project should evaluate where housing could be located within those zones.

Staff and commissioners agreed the project will explore potential locations within a zone where housing could be compatible, and they added a modest timeline tweak to allow drafting January–March with an intended public hearing in April or May. The commission voted to approve the project charge with the timeline adjustment.
