3 issues in zoning with low priority
Rental registration moved to business licensing
The council moved rental registration rules and fees out of the nuisance chapter into the business-license chapter, shifting to an online permitting system instead of emails and spreadsheets.
Carriage Hills Christian Church electronic message sign
The church on East Gore Boulevard was donated an electronic message sign, but its current R-3 zoning doesn't allow one. A rezoning to Public Facilities — recommended for approval — would clear the way.
NW 31st Street rezoning
Two adjoining commercial properties at 1218 and 1220 NW 31st Street were rezoned from C-1 to C-5 General Commercial, matching neighboring parcels. The lot next to homes requires a binding site plan with buffer and fencing compliance.
