Planning commission forwards code changes to council but holds shipping‑container provision
Summary
Commissioners forwarded proposed city-code changes to the City Council on Aug. 11 but removed section 10-13-9 (prohibited accessory structures / shipping containers) from the package for further work and clarification.
The River Heights Planning Commission reviewed multiple proposed code changes Aug. 11 and voted to forward them to the City Council while excluding section 10-13-9 for additional work. Commissioner Anna Lisa Davidson moved to "pass the Code Changes as discussed, minus 10-13-9, to the City Council." Commissioner Morgan McKeown seconded; the motion carried with Cooley, Davidson, McKeown, and Ryan in favor and Wakefield absent.
Commissioner Noel Cooley recommended retaining section 10-13-3 but striking the clause "for one building only," explaining the paragraph was difficult to understand and should be reworked. Commissioners also discussed clarifying rules around boundary-line adjustments to allow the zoning administrator discretion to determine whether a public hearing is required. The Commission asked staff and the city attorney to refine unclear language before Council review.
