A presenter (speaker 1, staff member) and committee members discussed whether museums and art galleries should be allowed as-of-right in light industrial (IL) zones. Speaker 1 argued museums do not disrupt adjoining uses and compared them to allowed uses in residential zones; committee members noted special permits allow case-by-case review of legacy industrial areas.
