Jensen said indoor ranges would be special uses in commercial, business park and industrial zones and outdoor ranges special uses in Open Space-Natural, Agriculture and Industrial zones. Resident Jim Smith suggested a conditional use permit for agricultural areas; Bettina Cameron asked that ranges be barred from agricultural subdivisions citing equestrian safety; two written comments opposed. The council tabled it and directed staff to let the council exempt design standards, prohibit ranges on parcels with residences, in agricultural subdivisions and in OS-N.

Love raised design-standard exemptions and proximity to the wildlife corridor; Jensen said outdoor ranges would be limited to Agriculture and Open Space Natural zones. Clark suggested 'shooting amenities' wording and warned a clause could block food trucks at events. One emailer, Jim Smith, called it a good first effort. Tabled; Gray opposed tabling.
