Council approves zoning change at 5123 Sweet Potato Ridge Road and adopts Meadowbrook 2026 rates

The Clayton City Council approved multiple routine items including a map amendment to rezone a 2.925-acre parcel and a resolution updating Meadowbrook at Clayton’s rates for 2026.

Clerk (reading): Ordinance O p C2601 was read into the record as an amendment to the official zoning map to rezone approximately 2.925 acres (Parcel M60030050009 at 5123 Sweet Potato Ridge Road) from RCD 2 to RCD 1, subject to subdivision and declaring an effective date. A motion to approve the ordinance was made and seconded; council discussion noted that some of the maps on file still reference Randolph Township and staff will verify the county filing. The motion carried.

The council also adopted Resolution RO42629, which establishes Meadowbrook at Clayton rates and fees for 2026. Mr. York moved to approve the resolution with a second by Miss Bustos; staff and council members said the fee adjustments were modest and intended to support recent and planned improvements. City management noted the increases "don't reflect too much of an increase" and cited work such as replacement of blinds and planned new carpet and paint to justify the adjustments.

Minutes from the prior meeting (03/19/2026) were approved by motion; the roll call recorded one abstention from Mr. Henning and the rest voting in favor.

What was said about fees and maps: During discussion, a council member observed that many map copies still showed Randolph Township rather than the City of Clayton; staff said the maps likely reflect what was last filed with the county and that they would check and update them as needed. On the Meadowbrook fees, staff explained increases were modest and tied to improvements. "As well as, making the improvements... we had not increased since replacing the blinds last year, as well as we're getting the new carpet this year and fresh paint jobs," the City Manager said.

Next procedural step: No further hearings or postponements were recorded on these items; the meeting concluded with council comments and an adjournment.
