standards for mobile food vending, updating Farmers Markets standards, removing zoning
standards for retail marijuana sales, and text changes to several chapters to correct errors or
clarify uses.
City staff met with local stakeholders to receive input to proposed regulations and prepared
draft amendments for Planning Commission review. The Commission then presented the
proposed amendments to the public in several ways, including providing the draft on the City
website with option to comment, and an open house and public hearing in April of 2017. The
proposed amendment was also submitted to all required State agency representatives for
comment.
Current Situation
The Community and Economic Development Committee, a subcommittee of the City Council,
reviewed the proposed amendments in May, and the draft was presented to City Council at the
