Planning Manager MacHott stated we have been busy moving projects forward. He told
Planning Commission that Golden Corral was approved at last City Council Meeting on May
26, 2015. He announced sometime in the fall there will be a joint work session with City
Council and Planning Commission so that City Council can give some guidance on what they
are looking for and make sure Planning Commission is on the same page. He advised PC
later in the year, he is hoping to present some Ordinance amendments to the city and to the
Commission. He explained, the Commercial Mixed Use Zone and
Residential Mixed Use Zone includes language that reflects the old life on Conditional Use
Permits, so there will be changes there. Also, he would like to bring forward the set back

Municipal Code to make it a little more modern, current, and user friendly.
