Workshop: big-box and bank uses in industrial zone, Ordinance 21-12
Discussed
Planner Russ Holley proposed making banks, general sales and service, and big-box stores over 100,000 square feet conditional uses in the Industrial zone, to encourage big-box retailers to move from Main Street to the west side. Staff recommended approval. The Planning Commission tied 2-2 on May 27. Amy Anderson asked about the commission's concerns; Holley said they centered on banks and added traffic. Jensen said routing semi-trucks to west-side roads could reduce Main Street traffic.

The council adopted a code change making banks, general sales and service, and big-box stores over 100,000 square feet conditional uses in the Industrial zone. The Planning Commission tied 2-2.
