✓ Decidido: Council approves Lowe's outdoor sales area; ADU ordinance hearing left open
The Easton Town Council approved Ordinance 862, allowing Lowe's Home Centers to convert about 10 parking spaces into an outdoor sales/display area for trailers and sheds, with screening plantings. The council also held a public hearing on Ordinance 861 (accessory dwelling units) but did not vote, leaving the hearing open for more input. Resolution 6226 (Neighborhood Service Center tax/fee abatements) was not moved on, with staff to possibly bring it back under a broader policy framework. No other substantive decisions were made; several items were discussed for future action.
- Approved Ordinance 862 (Lowe's PUD amendment) unanimously
- Left Ordinance 861 (ADU amendments) hearing open, no vote
- No motion on Resolution 6226 (Neighborhood Service Center abatements)
- Introduced Ordinance 863 (12-month data center moratorium) for future hearing
- Introduced Ordinance 864 (data center use definition) for future hearing
- Approved minutes of August 3, 2026 meeting as written
