Council classifies natural-gas regulator stations as conditional use in Public Facilities zone and adopts definition

Jul 28, 2026

The Council adopted Ordinance No. 2026-07-16 (Option B) to treat Natural Gas Regulator stations as a conditional use in the Public Facilities zone with development standards to limit height and require screening, and separately approved a definition for the term (Ordinance No. 2026-07-17).

The full story

Development Services Director Patrick O’Brien presented two options for treating Natural Gas Regulator (NGR) stations in the Public Facilities (PF) zone: the Planning Commission recommended Option A permitting the use outright, while staff and legal counsel recommended Option B—classifying NGR stations as a conditional use with development standards such as maximum building height, perimeter walls, and screening to reduce neighborhood impacts.
