Annual Code Maintenance Ordinance Includes Changes to Business Licensing, Zoning, and Public Safety Regulations

The Planning Commission reviewed a proposed ordinance for annual code maintenance, which includes amendments to various municipal code titles. Key changes involve clarifying business license revocation authority, ensuring all employees are subject to the code, separating 'Reiki' from the massage definition, making typographical corrections to public nuisance definitions, requiring visible name tags for private security, clarifying RV permit breaks, confirming property owner ownership of conditional use permits, requiring modification applications for landscape and exterior material changes, removing 'guest house' as an approved use in residential zones, clarifying front yard fencing requirements, adding 'greenhouse' as an approved accessory structure, requiring retail lockers to be internal and match business hours, applying supplemental development standards to auto rental businesses, prohibiting specific brand advertising on permanent signs, and ensuring road/driveway designs account for solid waste pickup. Sections concerning front yard definitions were removed for further review. The commission recommended the city council adopt the ordinance, excluding the removed sections.
