Councilors discussed zoning challenges in the Second District Road and Little Street area, noting that many properties do not conform to current zoning. The Planning Commission was asked to research options for an overlay district and for handling pre‑existing, nonconforming lots.
Minutes record a specific case: buyers interested in a 5‑acre R‑15 property want to keep horses, but livestock are not allowed in R‑15. Councilors identified three options: grant a special use permit, rezone the parcel to R‑11, or amend the R‑15 text to allow horses. The item was tabled pending research by the Planning Commission.
