City Council - May 13, 2025
Applicants BreAnn and Mitchell Beckstrom proposed amending Chapter 20 of the development code to allow certain construction and landscape businesses as home occupations with conditional use permits. Council members expressed concern that a citywide code change would create unintended commercial impacts in residential areas, ultimately voting to deny the ordinance while directing staff to work with the Beckstroms on a tailored development agreement.
