Summary

After several public commenters opposed a requested zone change, the commission denied Ordinance O 2026-18 to rezone parcel 8‑7‑8‑30 from Residential 5 to Commercial 2; the applicant had said they sought seasonal trailer flexibility.

Multiple residents raised objections during public comment to a proposed zone change on the edge of Mirror Lake Subdivision. The transcript records that "Mary McElhone, Lorrie Mineer, Steve Mineer, Lane Slack, and Brandi Plumlee all spoke in opposition of the zone change on item #13." The applicant, Tracy Sanford, told the board they were "asking for the best solution to allow them to have more than two trailers on their property for summer seasonal use."

Shannon McBride summarized that Planning & Zoning recommended denial, and Commissioner Celeste Meyeres moved to deny Ordinance O 2026-18 amending the parcel from Residential 5 to Commercial 2; the motion carried with all commissioners present voting in favor. The commission also noted staff will consider RV ordinance changes next month that may relate to similar requests.

No formal amendment or alternative condition was approved; the rezoning request was denied and will not proceed as proposed.
