Council OKs ordinance to permit gravel parking in limited downtown circumstances
Summary
Council passed Ordinance 2026‑22 to amend the code to allow gravel parking in limited circumstances with conditions (curbing, aprons, or grass buffers) and time‑limited exceptions tied to future permit requests.
The Centerburg Village Council approved Ordinance 2026‑22, an amendment to the codified ordinances allowing gravel parking in limited circumstances and declaring an emergency to expedite the change.
Staff said temporary agreements for existing gravel lots expire in October and requested language changes so the village could apply for exceptions by September. The ordinance includes conditions to contain gravel (curbs or aprons; alternatively a 3–4 foot grass strip) and notes that exceptions would expire if a landowner requests a new zoning permit.
The council voted to waive three readings where appropriate and approved the ordinance. Staff said the change is intended to balance short‑term parking needs with longer‑term goals to limit gravel parking as downtown develops.
The transcript records the motion, a second and roll‑call affirmation; the council approved the ordinance in the meeting record.
