Council approves amendment to zoning ordinance allowing businesses in residential areas

Council Member Earlene Rampy moved to approve an amendment to the zoning ordinance regarding businesses in residential areas; Council Member Cheryl Birdwell seconded and the motion passed unanimously. The minutes record approval but do not include the ordinance language, conditions, or effective date.

Because the minutes omit the ordinance text and specific restrictions, it is not possible from the record to state what types of business activity are now permitted in residential areas or whether the amendment includes conditions, permits, or transitional provisions. Staff or the city attorney must provide the ordinance text and implementation details for public clarity.
