Read the motion as recorded
“Vice-Mayor Wisler moved to approve the conditional zoning request from Central Business District and Residential Multi-family Medium Density to Central Business District - Conditional Zone (CBD- CZ) to allow for the construction of a 5,200 square foot, one-story, gas-insulated substation and find that the request is reasonable, is in the public interest and is consistent with the comprehensive plan in that the project: 1) minimizes land use impacts through innovative design; 2) utilized a thorough public input and community engagement process; and, 3) provides a critical service need in an area targeted for significant growth.”
