During member business the committee flagged landscaping requirements in new developments for future Plan Commission review. The committee recommended four zoning text amendments—TR‑10, NMU/MU, MR‑15 unit limits, and parking changes—to the Common Council, each passing on unanimous recorded votes.

A committee member used the members‑business portion of the agenda to relay constituent feedback on landscaping requirements for new development; staff said discussions are ongoing and additional proposals will be brought to the Plan Commission.

Separately, the committee recorded motions and unanimous votes forwarding four zoning text amendments to the Common Council: the TR‑10 lot‑area clarification and twin‑home definition; matching NMU/MU lot‑area language; the MR‑15 amendment to allow up to eight units by right; and a parking standard change requiring two spaces per dwelling unit. The clerk called the roll for each motion and recorded affirmative votes from Aldermen McGuire, Truhart, Frankie and Visting.
