Zoning Ordinance, Special Exemption Resolution, Considered by City Council

The Sheridan City Council met for their first regular business meeting of April Monday night. Sheridan Media’s Ron Richter has the details.

The City Council approved Ordinance 2287 on third and final reading. The ordinance amends the M-1 zoning district to add heavy industrial uses to the list of uses requiring a Special Exemption by the Board of Adjustment, and creates a new M-2 zoning district that would allow for light and heavy industrial uses with no special exemption required. The City Council also approved a resolution that would authorize the governing body to grant Special Exemptions to M-1 property owners with an existing heavy industrial use that would be impacted by Ordinance 2287. City Planner Kelly Schroeder.

Schroeder said that there are about three to five properties that would qualify for the City initiated special exemptions.

Other Council business included an update from Second Chance Cat Rescue Executive Director Rachel Kristiansen and an update from City Parks Director Steve Gage on the City’s pathways and trails.
