Member Boyle stated we usually have issues with lighting at storage facilities. City Planner Donovan
stated there are Dark Sky requirements there and lighting won’t be an issue. City Manager Micah Austin
stated you can do a conditional rezone. The council has worries about noise, lighting, traffic and smells
that could disrupt the neighbors. The code states excessive noise and smell is not allowed. There is
already code in place that limits the height of the building. City Administrator Micah Austin stated that if
council isn’t wanting to limit the uses then you don’t need a conditional rezone.
It was moved by Council Member Wessel and seconded by Council Member Fullmer to approve Clark
Property Rezone R-1 to I&M-1, with emphasis on City Ordinance 10-25-1 in its entirety
