The Planning Commission held a workshop to discuss zoning updates, specifically focusing on mixed-use and commercial zoning designations. Participants reviewed proposed updates to purpose descriptions and identified land uses to be retained, removed, or installed with restrictions. The discussion covered the definitions and application of land use classifications, including Permitted, Special Requirements, and Special Exceptions. Additionally, members deliberated on appropriate land use scales for rural intersections, such as gas stations and convenience stores, and utilized maps to visualize current zoning designations to inform future policy decisions.
