Ordinance to add requirements for Temporary Outdoor Sales, Farmer’s
Markets, and Community Gardens
Chair Tralle declared the Public Hearing open at 6:34 p.m.
Associate Planner, Paul Bengtson, presented the sta ff report. Staff recommended
approval of the zoning ordinance amendments.

may have some basic requirements.

A. Recreational Facilities in Residential and Rural Di stricts
Mr. Smyser stated that the city has received compla ints by residents regarding the riding
of motorcycles on a man-made dirt track on a proper ty located in the R-1, Single Family
Residential, zoning district.
Staff discussed the issue with the city attorney. The city’s view is that an off-road
racing/riding course is not comparable to other all owable uses in a residential zone.
Staff is seeking the opinion of the P&Z Board befor e discussion with the City Council.
Staff asked for direction on whether the board feel s that this should be an allowable use
in the Residential or the Rural zones.
Following discussion, P&Z Board Members were of the opinion that the issue at hand is
not a land use issue, but a noise nuisance issue th at should be addressed.
