Planning Zoning

Chicken ordinance tabled; subdivision update at 415 E 2nd St

The Planning Commission discussed the proposed chicken ordinance but tabled it until 2027 after the City Council rejected a work session request. They also received an informational update on a potential subdivision at 415 E 2nd St, noting that the proposed driveway right-of-way was vacated in 1998 and that utility access may require an easement. No decisions were made on the subdivision, and the meeting was otherwise routine.
