Planning Commission Negative Recommendation

Sponsors:

Ordinance

Attachments:

Exhibit A - Legal Description

Exhibit B

Staff Report

Commissioner Hefner asked why there was a negative recommendation from

Planning. City Planner Jon Baughman provided the response.

Discussion was held.

Mayor Maness referenced Planning item number 27, “Consider,” and Mr. Baughman

explained that the term was used because there were options available. The Mayor

also noted that the text stated “Mount” instead of “Mt.”

Discussion was held.

Mayor Maness asked about six variances listed in the staff report that were not shown

in the ordinance. Mr. Baughman explained this was because of the negative

recommendation, so no update was made.

Mayor Maness made a motion to adopt variances/waivers applied for numbers 1, 2, 3,

and the fifth variance labeled as number 6. The motion was seconded by

Commissioner Giles. The vote was unanimous.

1. To reduce the number of parking stalls required from 24 to 16, including the parking

at the pump.

2. To reduce the front setback required from 30' to 23' for the fuel canopy (the existing

fuel canopy is approximately 4' from property line).

3. To reduce the street landscape to the areas shown on the plan.

6. (5) To allow the development to use a building material facade that is not masonry

brick on the north and south end of the fuel canopy.

Back on the ordinance as once amended.

Mayor Maness made a motion to adopt variance/waivers applied for number 4 as well.

Vice Mayor Trivett seconded the motion, and the vote was unanimous.

4. To increase the maximum impermeable surface ratio allowed from 70% to 80%.

Back on the ordinance as twice amended.

Commissioner Hefner made a motion for three pumps and six handles, seconded by

Mayor Maness. The vote was unanimous.

Back on the ordinance as three times amended.

A motion was made by Vice Mayor/Commissioner Trivett, seconded by Commissioner

Hefner, that this Ordinance be recommended for second reading to the Board of

Commissioners, on meeting date of 9/8/2025. The motion carried by the following vote:
