WORK SESSION
A. Comprehensive Land Use Plan Update
Ms. Roberts said the next meeting of the comprehensive plan advisory committee would be held on
November 14th and that because they've added extra advisory committee meetings to the original schedule, '.
the plan is now due to come before the Commission in January or February.
B. Oil and Gas Ordinance
Mr. Harvey said his research agreed with what Ms. Roberts had said at the last meeting, that most cities
don't limit the number of wells per padsite and instead try to have more control over the padsites
themselves. He added that the city needs to require companies to give us a longer-term view, maybe a 5- to
10-year plan if they have multiple wells on a padsite.
C. Overlay District Regulations
Ms. Roberts had sent to Commission members a draft ordinance amending the city's overlay district
regulations per earlier work session discussions. Ms. Roberts said she would put this item on next month's
regular agenda, if that met with Commission approval. After some discussion, the Commission asked her to
remove the word "opaque" from the illustration and to correct the loading dock setback to 75 feet (the
illustration in the draft ordinance mistakenly showed 50 feet).
D. Discuss Items for Future Consideration
a. Alcohol Ordinance
Because neither staff nor the Commission had additional concerns about the alcohol ordinance, this item is
to be removed from the next agenda.
b. Green/ Environmental Regulations
The Commission discussed items to be researched for this agenda item, including wind turbines, solar panels,
and new technologies. Ms. Roberts said there are model ordinances that may help. r;
