Commissioners debate process: split votes and limits of SUP on C‑1

During deliberations the commission spent significant time on procedure: whether it could separately rezone the parcel developed with Fire Station 2, whether an SUP could be considered given the earlier failed text amendment, and how to handle multiple related votes.

The city attorney and planning staff advised that the notice as published allowed consideration of a zoning change for each parcel and an SUP; commissioners agreed on a friendly amendment to split the motion into three separate actions — rezoning for the fire station parcel, rezoning for the undeveloped parcel, and action on the SUP. That approach produced a 5–2 vote to rezone 8602 Schrade, a failure on the rezoning for 8502, and a unanimous vote to table the SUP to Nov. 10. Commissioners asked staff to return with the consultant noise study and additional site materials for the Nov. 10 meeting.
