OFFICIAL SUMMARY
Chairperson Tanner Aiken called the meeting of the City Planning Commission to order on Tuesday,
August 1, 2023, at 5:30 PM in the Council Chambers Room #310 on the third floor of the City & County
Government Center. Members present were James Drew, Greg Fargen, Kyle Jamison, Nick Schmeichel
via telephone, Richard Smith, Roger Solum, and Aiken. Scot Leddy and Jacob Mills were absent. Also
present were City Planner Ryan Miller, Community Development Director Mike Struck, and Toby Morris
— via telephone.
Item #4 — This application is for a Conditional Use Permit to allow for a home hair salon which is a major
home occupation. This residence is in a Residence R-1 B zoning district. The applicant meets all the
standards for a Major Home Occupation. The applicant will be completing some improvements to the
property to better serve the business. Plumbing for a bathroom will be required for the proposed salon. A
sidewalk will lead to a rear door for direct access to the salon. A small sign will be proposed at the
entrance of the salon which will require a permit.
Item #5 — Struck explained that this Tax Increment District is located along 201h Street South near the
Fishback Soccer Complex. This is a workforce housing project for this development and there is a
public/private relationship for this project.
Aiken asked for clarification on the boundaries, specifically a small area on the east and a small area on
the west. Struck explained that the small rectangular piece along Medary Avenue is included in case if
any grading or drainage improvements need to be complete. The two lots on the east side will be
providing a secondary access requirement for this development.
Item #6— This project plan lays out all that is needed to meet the State requirements for Tax Increment
District Financing. Morris explained the plan for the housing development and the financing involved
with the project. Schmeichel wonders if there is something that prevents these properties from being
turned into rentals. Morris explained that the first-time purchase of these homes is restricted to the
homebuyers. After this, there are no restrictions to maintain this, just the initial intention of the
developers. Struck also explained that there is a Developers Agreement that will be required on this
project between the developer and the City. Details could be added to this agreement to prevent rental
housing in this area.
Item #7 — At the July Planning Commission meeting there were some concerns if this would fit in the B-1
District. Miller stated that the "Proposed Uses" for Pet Services didn't change but the "Proposed
Districts" have been revised to say that daycare and boarding are prohibited in the B-1 Downtown
District.
The meeting adjourned at 6:00 p.m.
