Council defers planning-code changes, forms committees on downtown gym and vehicle rules

Aug 3, 2026

The council took no formal action on a Planning Commission recommendation to increase accessory-building size and height limits; it also deferred decisions on the downtown gym’s future and on e-bike/ATV/golf-cart rules, directing committees to study both topics further.

The full story

The Geneva City Council on Aug. 3 declined to take formal action on several agenda items and instead directed further study. The council did not adopt a Planning Commission recommendation to raise the accessory-building maximum from 1,200 to 1,600 square feet or to increase allowed heights from 20 to 24 feet; that recommendation will be discussed at the next regular meeting.
