Following the Public Hearing that took place before the Planning Commission on April 26, 2022, the Planning Commission directed that staff return with changes to the ordinance and additional information. Some of these changes include:

  1. Retitling Section 17.28.090 from "Chain Stores" to "Chain Store Aesthetics on High Street";
  2. Removing "retail service" from the proposed definition of Chain Store in order to allow for commercial offices that might qualify as a Chain Store to not be subject to the proposed ordinance

The updated ordinance will be presented to the Planning Commission on Tuesday, May 24, 2022, at 7 PM at City Hall. Members of the public are encouraged to join the Public Hearing. The full updated ordinance can be viewed here.
