Commission Action
Dianne York, Planning Manager, presented this agenda item. Ms. York stated that the
Applicant is seeking approval of the proposed Replat in order to create one (1) legal lot
of record from two (2) legal lots of record and unplatted land. The plat will allow the
Applicant to move forward with additional development applications for the site. The
proposed Lot 1R has adequate access to Morton Street and access to water and sewer.
The proposed lot meets the minimum lot dimension and area requirements found
within the Local Retail (LR) and Morton Street Overlay (MO) Boundary ordinances.
Ms. York stated that staff recommends approval of the request.
Chair Shearer asked if there was anyone who wished to speak on this item, to which
there were none. With that, the Public Hearing was closed.
On motion by Commissioner Pickens, seconded by Vice Chair Sylvester, the Planning
and Zoning Commission approved the Replat for the Sexton Addition creating Lot 1R,
Block 1, being a Replat of Lots 3 and 4 of the Sexton Addition and unplatted land.
6.

STAFF UPDATES
Dianne York, Planning Manager, presented this agenda item. Ms. York provided an
update regarding upcoming zoning-related items. An amendment to the Use
Regulation Chart is anticipated to be presented at a May meeting (likely not the second
meeting), primarily addressing updates to definitions and classifications related to data
centers. Ms. York noted that the current zoning code, last updated in 2009, is outdated
and does not adequately reflect modern data center uses. The proposed data center
amendment will allow staff to review proposals rather than just allowing them by
right. Ms. York also indicated that draft standards for accessory dwelling units (ADUs)
will be explored in the future, with the goal of establishing a coordinated approach
among Planning, Public Works, Building, and Fire departments. Commission
Members were informed that a more detailed presentation will be provided at a future
meeting to outline proposed changes and gather feedback prior to formal
consideration. Ms. York encouraged Commissioners to share relevant research,
examples, or best practices from other jurisdictions to inform the process.

7.

ADJOURNMENT
There being no further business to come before the Commission, the meeting was
adjourned at 10:08 a.m.
