MINUTES CITY COUNCIL DECEMBER 18, 2024 There were no further comments from the public. Upon motion by D. Miller, seconded by Kwapick, the public hearing was closed. Ayes (4). Nays (0). Motion adopted. Mayor Fischer welcomed input on whether daycare and residential treatment buffers should be included or excluded. D. Miller commented that he would support excluding those uses from the buffer requirement to better match alcohol and tobacco sales. Kwapick asked if Ordinance 902 should be tabled to allow staff to bring back additional information on where the State -licensed facilities are located. Mayor Fischer asked if that would cause an issue. The Community Development Director commented that the ordinance could be adopted as it would not be effective in essence until an application is received. He stated that he can bring back additional information in January. Gutierrez stated that they could also specify commercial daycares versus in - home daycares. The Community Development Director confirmed that they could add language to specify that the buffer would only apply to daycares and residential treatment facilities within commercial districts. He stated that the ordinance could be adopted with that additional language or Ordinance 902 could be tabled to January. Gutierrez commented that there are other cities adopting no buffer from those uses. She asked the distance from Happy Trees to the school. The City Clerk stated that business is closing at the end of December. Mayor Fischer commented that is a special -use school that chose to move into an industrial area.

Kwapick stated that he would agree to match the buffers for alcohol and tobacco.
