Commission opens Main Street workshop; debate centers on comp‑plan boundary and late‑night uses

Feb 4, 2026

At a lengthy workshop, planners reviewed Main Street history and MSMU permitted uses; commissioners debated whether the comp‑plan boundary should be pulled back to Exchange and whether taverns, microbreweries and similar late‑night uses should require specific‑use permits to protect adjacent residences. Staff will consult the Main Street Committee and EDC before returning with draft amendments.

The full story

Senior Planner Daisy Marquez presented a multipart Main Street workshop that traced prior comp‑plan decisions (2002, 2013, 2024), explained the current Main Street conceptual boundary (extended to Curtis) and reviewed permitted uses in the Main Street Mixed‑Use (MSMU) zoning district. She noted staff is working to underground utilities and that 19 parcels are currently zoned MSMU or MSMU‑ND.
