Planning Commission Regular Meeting Minutes December 21, 2021 Page 4 1 Mr. Grittman presented the staff report and provided a summary of suggested changes. If 2 found to be acceptable as written, or acceptable with modifications, the changes will be 3 provided in a formal amendment format and a public hearing will be scheduled to provide an 4 opportunity for public input. 5 6 No attendees were at the meeting. 7 8 Chairperson Westrick closed the public hearing at 7:28 p.m. 9 10 Commissioner Rude indicated he looked at this and had a lot of comments to be made and 11 improvements to the language. He wondered how staff wanted to handle this. 12 13 Mr. Grittman indicated at some point staff will ask the Planning Commission to recommend 14 approval of whatever language that is decided upon and then it will have to go to the City 15 Council for their adoption of whatever language they choose. He noted if the Commission 16 wanted to talk about Commissioner Rude’s language corrections he was open to that or 17 Commissioner Rude could send him changes and they can be presented at a subsequent 18 meeting for further discussion. 19 20 Chair Westrick asked if Commissioner Rude had substantive changes or any big concerns. 21 She wondered if the changes were wordsmithing or were the concerns regarding actual 22 changes themselves. 23 24 Commissioner Rude indicated the changes he had was wordsmithing.

The recommendation is to add the size 37 clause to specify that it was the larger vehicles being prohibited from parking and advertising. 38 39 Commissioner Rude asked regarding the garbage, it is eliminated in on place, front yard 40 setback and just defined as front yard.

He asked if that is the 43 intent. 44 45 Mr. Grittman indicated that is the intent. Front yard is defined in the code as being the front 46 area along the full width of the lot between sidelines from the street right of way to the 47
