First reading action was taken on the ordinance during a special meeting Tuesday night at city hall. Second and final reading action will be scheduled at a meeting in March following a public hearing.
According to City Administrator Hunter Hendrixson, the new ordinance is intended to simplify the designations of zoning districts.
The R-1 (low-density residential) districts (single-family dwelling, excluding mobile homes) and R-2 (high density residential) districts (multi-family dwellings) will remain the same. All the R-3 (high density residential) districts will be re-classified as R-2.
B-1 districts (business uses) will be re-classified as C-1 (commercial districts) for small businesses.
B-2 district (central business district) will be re-designated as C-2 (commercial district) for businesses in the downtown area.
M-1 districts (manufacturing uses) will be re-classified as I-1 (Industrial Districts) for light industry uses.
The new color coded zoning map shows the following:
R-1 districts (yellow)
R-2 districts (orange)
C-1 district (pink)
C-2 districts (red)
I-1 districts (purple)
