The council adopted Ordinance No. 1539 on June 23 to amend Appendix A and permit outdoor food and beverage service by right in the B‑3 General Business and CC‑3 Downtown Core zoning districts. City Planner Jacob Maas told the council the change concerns accessory land use and noted accessory land use is defined as less than 50% of the principal footprint.
"This amendment is regarding accessory land use. Accessory land use is less than 50% of the principal footprint," Jacob Maas said during the hearing. The council suspended the rules and adopted the ordinance on immediate consideration; the motion carried unanimously.
The amendment clarifies where outdoor food and beverage service can operate without a special permit, aligning the code language with intended downtown and business district uses. MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
