Summary

The mayor and City Planner Madison Brown reported that many properties along the highway are not properly zoned for commercial uses and that the trail project still needs county approvals for land swaps and conditional use permits.

Mayor Travis Mote updated the council on the trail project and conditional-use permit process, noting outstanding issues with the county related to land swaps and approvals. He also flagged zoning inconsistencies along the highway, saying much of the existing commercial area is not properly zoned for commercial use.

City Planner Madison Brown raised the same issue in the planners' report, noting that recent commercial applications highlighted that many highway parcels lack commercial zoning despite existing businesses, and recommended updating both the zoning map and the future land-use map to address the discrepancy. The minutes do not record any formal map change action; the matter was raised for future planning work.
