[0:00] I love it. [snorts]

[0:13] [music]

[0:18] » Love it.

[0:19] >> Welcome to the Santa Quinn Planning

[0:21] Commission meeting.

[0:24] [laughter]

[0:26] » We should do that every time.

[0:31] Love it. Love it.

[0:35] » All righty. We ready to go?

[0:38] >> All right. We'd like to welcome

[0:39] everybody to our Santa Quinn Planning

[0:41] Commission meeting on August 25th, 2026.

[0:45] We would like to start with an

[0:47] invocation or in inspirational thought.

[0:49] Would anybody like to do that for us

[0:51] today?

[0:58] I have one.

[0:59] >> You have one? Okay.

[1:04] » Yes, I have one. Just one second. Just

[1:07] an inspirational thought. Um,

[1:12] unfortunately, Dolly Parton passed away

[1:15] today. I don't know if you guys heard

[1:17] that.

[1:19] >> That's not really, but she's

[1:20] inspirational in many ways and she's

[1:22] done a lot of development in her life.

[1:24] She's built out Dollywood. she's done so

[1:27] much and so she's an inspiration to a

[1:29] lot of people. But um so I just wanted

[1:32] to quote a quote from her

[1:35] and I'm trying to pull it up.

[1:40] » It's amazing all the charity work that

[1:42] she did that she didn't get a lot of

[1:45] accolades for.

[1:47] >> Yeah. Yeah.

[1:50] Um

[1:52] sorry I thought it was just right here

[1:53] and it's not. Um

[1:57] it was something to the effect that um

[2:01] life can be hard but don't let it harden

[2:03] your heart and I think that can apply to

[2:06] all aspects of life that can apply to

[2:09] that land development cities codes

[2:12] politics especially um but it said let

[2:15] the let it strengthen the muscles around

[2:18] your heart not harden the heart itself

[2:20] so

[2:22] >> there's my thought for the night

[2:24] >> thank you very Would anyone like to lead

[2:26] us in the pledge of allegiance?

[2:28] >> I'll do that.

[2:32] [clears throat]

[2:33] >> I aliance to the flag of the United

[2:36] States of America and to the republic

[2:39] for which it stands. One nation under

[2:42] God, indivisible, with liberty and

[2:45] justice for all.

[2:54] righty. Our agenda for tonight is uh

[2:57] a public forum. Then we'll have a

[3:00] discussion and possible action

[3:03] um on the following. A public hearing

[3:07] and action regarding restricting bulk fuel storage in

[3:10] residential zones and then we'll approve

[3:12] our meeting minutes for July 28th.

[3:16] Do we have anything else that we need to

[3:18] add to that agenda or can we

[3:23] » Did you have something to add to the

[3:25] agenda?

[3:26] >> Yeah, everybody's good with the agenda

[3:27] the way it is.

[3:28] >> Mhm.

[3:29] >> Okay. All right. We'll begin with our

[3:31] public forum at 7:04.

[3:37] Anybody want to say anything?

[3:41] Hold the crowds back.

[3:44] All right, we will end our public forum

[3:47] at 7:04. And now we'd like to start our

[3:50] discussion on Oh, I guess we have to

[3:52] have the public hearing first.

[3:55] We'll start our public hearing for um

[3:57] item number one, action regarding

[3:59] restricting bulk fuel storage in

[4:00] residential zones.

[4:03] Anybody want to comment on that?

[4:07] >> Great. Thanks so much. If if you'd like,

[4:09] I'm happy just to um go through an

[4:12] amendment. You probably recognize the um the item we talked about um

[4:20] prohibiting the storage of um fuel 150

[4:24] gallons or more residential districts.

[4:26] So, this is one of those it's been um

[4:28] you know, it went through the planning

[4:30] commission under recommendation of

[4:32] approval and then um you know, in

[4:35] speaking kind of with the the the

[4:36] leadership being the city manager um the

[4:39] assistant city manager and the city

[4:41] attorney um they felt like we needed to

[4:43] make um a few more changes. How it was

[4:45] written before, it was more of kind of a

[4:48] standard where it was restricted under

[4:50] the table, no more than 150 gallons.

[4:52] what the um city uh attorney um and uh

[4:56] and Jason really felt that it should be

[4:58] turned more into a use and so we created

[5:00] a bulk fuel storage use and so that's

[5:04] what was put in uh in the table and

[5:06] actually today so u as far as that goes

[5:09] there's a definition it's pretty simple

[5:11] that that we provided if you look at the

[5:13] amendments and then under um each of the

[5:16] tables for the residential districts

[5:18] it's a use bulk fuel storage and then

[5:20] it's a non-permitted use or a prohib I'm

[5:23] sorry a non yeah a non-permitted use or

[5:26] prohibited use. Um so in talking with um with with with the city manager um he

[5:34] felt that um we needed to go a little

[5:37] bit further because there are some

[5:39] properties that are zoned residential

[5:41] but are actually historically used

[5:43] agriculturally. And he said how it's

[5:45] written right now um potentially it

[5:47] could impact those operations. And so

[5:51] even though like we feel like how the

[5:52] code's written, it it it won't disrupt

[5:55] that agricultural use, but he wanted to

[5:58] ensure that it was crystal clear in the

[6:00] code. And so today, I've been kind of

[6:02] going back and forth, city manager and

[6:04] our city attorney. Um and so I have a

[6:06] few amendments. Um, so if you do

[6:09] recommend a positive um

[6:13] recommendation to the the city council,

[6:16] we'd like it to be with the

[6:19] consideration of some some new language.

[6:21] And so this is the staff report that you

[6:24] received. Um, and the blue is what was

[6:29] in the staff report. The red is what was

[6:31] added working with the attorney and the

[6:33] city manager today. Um, so we have a a

[6:37] few spaces where where it was provided

[6:39] and so the

[6:43] yeah the definition I can pull we pull

[6:45] up the definition. So we do uh because

[6:47] first let me pull up the definition for

[6:50] bulk fuel storage.

[6:53] Let's see where do we place that?

[6:57] That's under the ordinance. Just one

[6:59] second.

[7:11] Okay. So this is the definition. So this

[7:14] was the or the the definition that was

[7:16] provided in your packet. So it's bulk

[7:18] fuel storage of gasoline used fuel,

[7:20] kerosene or other liquid fuel in one or

[7:23] more tanks or containers having a

[7:25] combined capacity greater than 150

[7:27] gallons on a single parcel. Bulk fuel

[7:29] storage does not include fuel contained

[7:31] within the factoryinstalled tank of an

[7:34] operable motor vehicle or or equipment.

[7:36] And so it's um essentially if you have

[7:40] um storage of fuel, it's going to cap it

[7:42] on 150 gallons. It's the same um ba

[7:47] basic impact that that it had in the

[7:49] last code. It just clarifies it and it

[7:52] makes it as as a use. So that's the

[7:54] definition.

[7:56] And then

[8:01] this document,

[8:03] yeah, this word document, this is the staff report, but then we added in

[8:07] the red to really ensure and make it

[8:10] crystal clear that it um will not impact

[8:14] currently operating agricultural

[8:17] businesses that are in residential

[8:18] districts. So the first um is the home

[8:21] occupation section. So the home

[8:23] occupation section just under the the

[8:25] prohibited um uses under that code we

[8:30] had simply just bulk fuel storage. Now

[8:33] we provide a little bit more

[8:34] clarification except so it's bulk fuel

[8:36] storage except when accessory and

[8:38] incidental to a lawfully established

[8:40] agricultural operation conducted on

[8:42] residentially zoned property. Fuels

[8:44] stored under this exception shall be

[8:46] used solely to support the agricultural

[8:48] operation. It should not be sold or

[8:50] dispensed for any unrelated purpose. So

[8:54] just making it clear, we're not going to

[8:57] have an impact to our agricultural u

[8:59] businesses. And then under the use

[9:02] table. So this is um the language that

[9:06] we'll then put throughout all the

[9:08] residential uh tables, but we just had

[9:10] time to put it in this as an example in

[9:13] the staff report. So if approved, we

[9:16] would then duplicate this in the rest of

[9:18] those residential um use tables. So the

[9:21] first one is the bulk fuel storage. Um

[9:24] and so accept agricultural bulk fuel

[9:27] storage as provided below. And so that's

[9:30] where we have the N. It's a

[9:31] non-permitted use for residential. But

[9:33] below that is the carve out for

[9:36] agricultural uses in residentially zoned

[9:39] properties. So bulk fuel storage

[9:40] agricultural um bulk fuel storage that

[9:43] is accessory and incidental to lawfully

[9:46] establish agricultural operation

[9:48] conducted on the property. Fuel stored

[9:50] under this provision shall be used

[9:52] solely to operate vehicles, machinery

[9:54] and equipment used in that agricultural

[9:55] operation. and it shall not be offered

[9:57] for sale distribution for use outside of

[10:00] the agricult agricultural operation. All

[10:04] storage shall comply with applicable

[10:06] fire building and environmental

[10:07] standards. So even an agricultural use,

[10:11] if there's large amounts of fuel, they

[10:13] still have to meet building code for for

[10:14] safety and whatnot. But that's the

[10:16] provision that would um kind of

[10:18] safeguard our agricultural uses. So

[10:21] should have the same impact. just makes

[10:23] it really crystal clear and uh you know

[10:26] should meet kind of what our city

[10:28] manager and our um city city attorney

[10:31] want in terms of just making sure that

[10:33] our agriculture uses are safeguarded

[10:35] while still providing kind of the public

[10:37] safety feature for our home occupation

[10:39] so we're not having large amounts of

[10:41] fuel associated with with just a general

[10:43] home occupation.

[10:45] Um and that is is everything from staff.

[10:48] So the red hopefully that's clear the

[10:50] red is what was added today. The blue is

[10:52] what was in your staff report.

[10:55] Happy to entertain any questions.

[11:01] » Lots of questions. Anybody else have

[11:03] lots of questions?

[11:05] >> All right. Do we allow propane tanks for

[11:07] houses in the city?

[11:09] >> Um, this wouldn't affect anything with propane tanks that are under the

[11:14] 150 um gallon,

[11:18] >> right? So,

[11:19] >> but what if I had a 250gallon tank?

[11:22] >> So, if you had one that was already

[11:24] established and and approved through the

[11:26] building permit process, then this this

[11:29] wouldn't affect anything that's already

[11:30] established. But, um,

[11:33] yeah, this would affect something 150

[11:37] gallons or more.

[11:38] >> Okay. What about fuel oil? Like if

[11:41] somebody had a wanted to build a hotel

[11:43] and run it on a heat it with fuel oil,

[11:46] this would affect them also, right? for

[11:47] a you say hotel,

[11:49] >> right?

[11:49] >> Um, so this would only impact

[11:51] residential.

[11:52] >> Okay. What if it was like an apartment

[11:55] building that wanted to run on fuel oil

[11:57] and heat for heating the apartment? I

[11:59] know that's antiquated stuff. I'm just

[12:02] >> bringing up questions that came to my

[12:04] mind.

[12:04] >> Right. Right. from a commercial

[12:06] standpoint. So, if um um this wouldn't

[12:08] impact a a a commercial use, this is um

[12:12] specifically written um to target just

[12:15] residential zones. Um and so any of

[12:18] those residential, the R8, I think the

[12:20] R10, the R15, it would impact those. So

[12:24] the idea is like your tra traditional

[12:26] single family um you know having large

[12:29] amounts of of uh storage of fuel like

[12:33] inside inside the garage that that

[12:35] that's where it would it would it would

[12:36] have an impact.

[12:38] >> Okay.

[12:38] >> The fire department already has like a

[12:40] permit that you have to go through if

[12:42] you wanted [clears throat] so they would

[12:45] be involved in a situation like that if

[12:46] it came up.

[12:47] >> Okay. So a lot of people in this area,

[12:50] not everybody, but a lot of people would

[12:52] subscribe to the fact that they would

[12:54] are trying to u be self-reliant.

[12:59] And so to be self-reliant, a lot of

[13:01] times they will store some things up and

[13:04] that would may include fuel. Wouldn't it

[13:07] be better to go through a permitting

[13:10] process and a process of safety

[13:13] regulation instead of just outright

[13:16] banning it?

[13:18] Um, so it it it really depends on on on

[13:21] what the process was. So when we went

[13:22] through um we met with like our public

[13:24] works and our our fire official and they

[13:28] felt like the 150 galon would still

[13:30] provide um folks enough enough storage

[13:33] if they had four-wheelers and things of

[13:35] that nature on site for a residential

[13:37] use. what our concern is and and we we

[13:40] had um we have received requests for

[13:43] this in the past, but folks that want to

[13:46] sell fuel as a home occupation. And so

[13:48] that that that that is a use that that we have seen and that um has been

[13:53] requested in the past. And so that that is of of concern because it's kind

[13:57] of making a potentially like a a a gas

[14:01] station in in a residential district,

[14:03] but you know, not not official gas

[14:05] station, but we we didn't we didn't want

[14:07] um to to blur lines like we we felt like

[14:10] that was a good use that we wanted to

[14:13] take out of the the home occupation

[14:14] section.

[14:16] So that's that's

[14:18] >> I would agree with with that in in

[14:20] saying you cannot sell fuel out of a

[14:23] household or a

[14:24] >> or a domestic dwelling if you want to

[14:27] put it that way. But to limit people and

[14:31] take away their choice to be able to

[14:34] store enough fuel for themselves and

[14:35] their family in case of an emergency

[14:40] I think is a negative.

[14:43] So, and I can see where we'd want to do

[14:45] it safely.

[14:47] Um,

[14:52] I I I don't like the way it's worded

[14:54] personally. So, I

[14:58] And I

[14:58] >> Do Do you feel that um I mean, is there a number of of gallons or a

[15:04] circumstance in which you feel like um

[15:07] it it it could it could be allowed?

[15:10] Well, one, we I think this is being

[15:13] driven by safety.

[15:15] So, I think we need to come up with a

[15:16] way to put some regulation around it

[15:19] where it's safe. But,

[15:22] you know, uh, having moved here from

[15:25] Missouri, there are a lot of, um, towns

[15:28] where the outskirts of town, people will

[15:30] have a, you know, a 1500 gallon propane tank so that they can make it

[15:37] through the entire year if they need to.

[15:39] And I would think we'd want to provide

[15:40] our citizens the same option here to be

[15:43] able to have something like that if if

[15:45] they so choose. I'm not saying everybody

[15:48] wants that, but taking away someone's

[15:51] freedom of choice is something that I

[15:53] don't like. Saying, "Hey,

[15:56] we want you to be safe in our community,

[15:59] I think that's reasonable, but just

[16:01] taking the choice away, I I don't agree

[16:04] with." And maybe I'm looking at it

[16:05] wrong. if anybody,

[16:07] you know, I'm just these are all

[16:10] thoughts that came to my mind as I was

[16:11] reading through the agenda packet for

[16:13] tonight. And so, um,

[16:17] I I don't want my neighbor to improperly

[16:20] store,

[16:21] you know, 500 gallons of gasoline right

[16:24] next to my property, but I don't want to

[16:26] take his right away to be able to do

[16:28] that if

[16:30] he's being safe about it.

[16:33] So,

[16:35] it's kind of a catch 22, I guess, is

[16:37] what I'm saying.

[16:38] >> Yeah.

[16:39] >> So, I that that that's all I wanted to

[16:41] bring up about it.

[16:42] >> I think you're saying it's okay to store

[16:44] that much and they're saying they don't

[16:46] want people to be distributing it and

[16:49] selling it and then it's like how much

[16:53] it's kind of they're kind of mixing in a

[16:55] way, right?

[16:56] >> I And I Yeah, I think I think you're

[16:58] right and that and that's that's a

[17:00] really good point. I I think what I mean

[17:02] if the concern is just generally for

[17:04] like the personal use um and that's like

[17:07] when we talk to the fire department like that's what we're asking was what

[17:11] from from like a a personal use like

[17:13] what what tends to be kind of kind of

[17:16] like like the upper limit of what

[17:18] someone if someone has a lot of ATVs and trucks just for the personal use and

[17:23] the the feeling was like 150 gallon is

[17:25] would get you u would get mo most people

[17:29] what what what they needed. did. Um, but

[17:31] going above that, like the the thought

[17:34] was like then potentially you're you

[17:36] might be getting into more of a

[17:38] commercial capacity where someone could,

[17:40] you know, be be using that for a

[17:42] business or commercial purpose.

[17:44] >> Um, one option to look at is instead of

[17:48] looking at just the the storage or like

[17:51] now it's more of like an umbrella, it's

[17:53] like the personal use and it's home

[17:55] occupations. Um, we could start by just

[17:58] limiting it specifically to a home

[18:01] occupation as opposed to just the the general storage. Um, and so if

[18:07] that's a route that the planning

[18:09] commission feels more comfortable with,

[18:10] we we could we could look at that that

[18:13] as well. Um,

[18:14] >> it's already not allowed as a home

[18:16] occupation. If you go to the home

[18:18] occupation chapter, right above, it says

[18:21] that you can't have um chemicals and

[18:25] different things above like household

[18:27] quantities

[18:29] under the the home occupation section,

[18:33] >> right? H it talks about.

[18:36] >> So what's driving this change?

[18:40] >> Why why are we putting this forward?

[18:42] just to make it ve very clear that you you know because we we we do we have

[18:46] had requests for um home occupations to sell fuel.

[18:52] >> Well, we've also had requests not for

[18:54] home occupations too for really large

[18:57] quantities that didn't necessarily have

[18:59] to do with agricultural purposes.

[19:01] >> Yeah. So, do we want to just make this

[19:04] clear that in a home occupation that's

[19:07] not allowed and then leave the the code

[19:10] the same otherwise? I don't know if the

[19:12] code already says 150 gallons. I'm I'm

[19:15] kind of shocked at that. But um

[19:19] >> doesn't currently say the 150 gallons.

[19:21] >> It does not currently.

[19:22] >> Okay.

[19:24] That that's what the definition of. Um

[19:26] so it's a new definition bulk fuel

[19:28] storage and then it's defined as 150

[19:31] gallons or more.

[19:33] >> In the previous planning commission,

[19:35] there was a code amendment to talk about

[19:37] the 150 gallons and it got a positive

[19:39] recommendation. But before it went to

[19:41] city council, it's been rewritten as

[19:43] what you've seen tonight.

[19:44] >> Yeah.

[19:48] So I I think that's that's up for your

[19:50] deliberation. Um if you like how it's

[19:53] written right now, it would impact folks

[19:56] that want to store above. Um so we I

[19:59] mean like I said before, this was vetted

[20:01] through kind of our our fire department

[20:03] and and our public works and that we

[20:05] they felt like that that was a pretty

[20:06] good upper limit of what someone would

[20:08] want to store. Yeah,

[20:09] >> it does does not impact the the tank

[20:11] capacity so of your vehicle. And so that

[20:14] would be in addition to um if you feel like that goes too far, you could

[20:20] make it very specific to just the home

[20:22] occupation use and just you know fuel

[20:25] sales, you know, anything that that's

[20:28] stored above 150. I mean, we could

[20:30] target that. I would think we we would

[20:31] want to look at that maybe maybe a a

[20:35] little bit more and and and come come

[20:36] back to you if if that's if that was the

[20:38] consensus of the planning commission. So

[20:40] you have you have a lot of options you

[20:42] could recommend as proposed tonight. You

[20:45] could kick it back to staff with the

[20:48] direction that you you want it to be

[20:50] more narrowly focused on on home

[20:52] occupations as opposed to to storage.

[20:55] Um, if if you do

[20:58] if if there is a concern, well, I'm

[21:01] trying to think too, like if someone

[21:02] does for a storage purpose for their own

[21:05] personal needs, if they want to store

[21:09] like 500 gallons of fuel, we probably

[21:12] would want to talk to the the fire

[21:13] marshall and see if there's a permit

[21:14] process or something like that.

[21:16] >> Yeah, totally.

[21:17] >> There there there is. Okay.

[21:20] >> Under age. Yeah. So says any home

[21:23] occupation which entails the use of

[21:24] chemicals exceeding typical household

[21:27] quantities, pesticides, and flammable

[21:29] combustible materials, including any

[21:31] other process or business where current

[21:33] adopted building fire codes would

[21:34] require an operational permit.

[21:37] >> So that's a that's a home occupation.

[21:39] What if somebody just wanted it for

[21:40] their personal use?

[21:41] >> I think a home is the operational permit

[21:42] the fire permit. Is that the name of the

[21:44] fire permit?

[21:44] >> The operational permit. They'd also have

[21:46] to go through the fire marshall and get

[21:47] that approved

[21:48] >> if it was for personal use also. Yeah,

[21:49] correct. That makes sense. I understand

[21:51] that. Anybody else have any thoughts?

[21:55] Sorry, I'm

[21:57] pestering everybody with this.

[21:59] >> Has staff looked at um [clears throat]

[22:01] other cities around us the same size out

[22:04] of state? Have we done extensive

[22:06] research on what other cities our same

[22:09] size are doing compared to like um

[22:13] Missouri or other places? you know, like

[22:16] I just wonder if we have done enough of

[22:18] our own due diligence of what other

[22:19] cities the same size are doing the same.

[22:22] Well,

[22:24] >> um, so we we haven't done a I I would

[22:27] say like a big dive into what other

[22:30] cities are doing. Um, because this um

[22:32] really kind of stemmed out of requests

[22:34] that we were receiving as staff from people in the community. Um, so we

[22:40] could um look at that if if you wanted

[22:43] like we we'd be happy to to to look at

[22:46] what other Utah cities are doing. I

[22:48] mean, if there's something in Missouri,

[22:49] too, we could look there, but probably

[22:51] from a state code perspective, we'd want

[22:53] to look at uh Utah communities. Um, but

[22:56] I I would think I from just general, we

[23:00] have researched a lot of home occupation

[23:02] ordinances and I that's something I've

[23:04] personally done a lot throughout my

[23:06] career. Typically I you don't see fuel

[23:08] sales out out of home occupations. So I

[23:10] think we would be pretty in line if we

[23:12] just restricted that if if the

[23:14] commission felt comfortable at least

[23:17] with that approach, you know, making it

[23:19] very clear home occupations, you can't

[23:21] sell fuel, you can't have large

[23:23] quantities of fuel for your your home occupation. I I think that

[23:27] puts us in a in a pretty good uh spot,

[23:29] at least kind of going with a starting

[23:30] point. And then there's the operational

[23:32] permit. It sounds like if someone wanted

[23:34] to have bulk fuel storage for um their

[23:38] per personal use, then they they would

[23:40] have to go through an operational

[23:41] permit, probably through the fire

[23:42] department.

[23:44] And we I I we could find out more

[23:46] details of what the operational permit

[23:47] is, but that that's that that's what my

[23:51] best guess is is that it would be

[23:52] through the the fire department.

[23:56] >> There was a concern that came up last

[23:57] time. I think you guys did a really good

[23:58] job of getting to the bottom of that one

[24:01] and and making that that not a concern

[24:03] anymore. But I do like this this new

[24:05] direction of of limiting the commercial

[24:09] use while also having a permit for

[24:11] personal storage. I think that's

[24:13] probably a better approach.

[24:14] >> Okay.

[24:17] » So, if there's can we exclude propane

[24:19] tanks if somebody wanted to run their

[24:21] house on propane?

[24:23] Would we want to add an exclusion in

[24:25] there for that? Um, yeah. Um, the plan

[24:28] commission can make any recommendation

[24:29] you'd like to the city council. What what we could do if you'd like, we

[24:32] could do some some research on the

[24:34] propane um um aspect specifically and

[24:37] then come back with a draft that targets

[24:41] just the home occupation and leaves out

[24:44] more of the personal storage since the

[24:46] operational permit is already written

[24:48] into H. But then we can talk with the

[24:51] fire department and understand clearly

[24:52] what the the the H operational permit

[24:55] is. I I think that sounds like the a

[24:57] permit they would get through the fire

[24:59] department because it's chemical based.

[25:00] It's it's flammable fuels.

[25:04] >> So, we we could um we we we could do

[25:06] that. So, if you if you wanted to pass a

[25:08] motion to continue the item to the to

[25:11] the next meeting, that'd give us some

[25:12] time to to do some research and uh and

[25:15] come back to you

[25:17] if if that if that's the route. It seems

[25:20] like from nodding heads that's kind of

[25:22] the direction you want you want to go.

[25:23] Any other discussion or

[25:26] points to be made?

[25:29] All right. We'll be looking for a motion

[25:30] on how to go forward with this.

[25:35] » I propose that we continue until the

[25:38] next meeting and and and look at some

[25:39] different language.

[25:43] » I'll second.

[25:45] >> Okay.

[25:46] Um

[25:48] we will continue

[25:50] that discussion later and look to staff

[25:53] to make recommendations that are more in

[25:55] line with the discussion we've had

[25:56] tonight.

[25:58] >> Yeah. And then um you just since you had

[26:01] a second, I would just um call for a

[26:03] vote.

[26:05] >> Call for a vote on that. Yes.

[26:07] >> We need to call for a vote on that.

[26:10] >> All [laughter]

[26:11] those that are in favor?

[26:14] >> Yes.

[26:15] Yes.

[26:16] >> Yes.

[26:17] >> Any opposed?

[26:19] >> Okay, that's that's unanimous. Yeah.

[26:21] Well, we're happy to do that. That's

[26:22] great. Great direction. Um and so we'll

[26:25] look at the um making it specific to

[26:28] home occupations. We'll look at what the

[26:30] operational permit does for the storage

[26:32] and then we'll look at the specificity

[26:34] around um propane tanks and what what

[26:36] other community communities do with

[26:38] propane tanks.

[26:38] >> Okay.

[26:39] >> Yeah.

[26:40] I would I would add also don't um have

[26:44] it include what's in fuel tanks already

[26:47] like in trailers or or in vehicles. Were

[26:51] you saying that that might be included

[26:52] in the

[26:52] >> No, it's not. So, under the definition,

[26:54] it it calls out it it breaks that out.

[26:57] Yeah. If you have a if you have a tank

[26:58] as part of your your vehicle, that

[27:01] doesn't um it's not part of the

[27:04] >> Perfect. I wanted to I thought you said

[27:05] it did and I'm like, let's let's take

[27:07] that out. I was worried about that, too.

[27:09] And I saw that it had a note in there if

[27:10] your vehicle has a tank in it, it

[27:12] doesn't count that.

[27:13] >> Okay, perfect. Or trailer, cuz some

[27:16] trailers hold fuel and stuff like that.

[27:19] So,

[27:19] >> yeah. Okay. Yeah, then we we we could uh

[27:22] we'll probably need to expand the

[27:24] definition then

[27:26] >> for [snorts]

[27:27] >> under the TR. Does it have the trailer,

[27:29] too?

[27:31] >> Well, we I'll I'll look at that and

[27:33] we'll we'll make sure it takes that into

[27:36] account. And one note in section two

[27:38] severability

[27:40] uh it says impair of invalidate. I think

[27:42] it's supposed to be or

[27:45] and and just

[27:49] >> I don't know if that's something that

[27:50] got maybe I'm reading it wrong and maybe

[27:53] it needs to be of but um just in case

[27:57] that got repeated through the document

[27:59] somehow just so you guys know.

[28:08] I apologize. Can Can you point that

[28:10] section that that part out?

[28:12] >> Yeah. Let's see.

[28:17] Uh judgment third third sentence.

[28:21] Judgment shall not affect impair of

[28:24] invalidate the remainder of this

[28:25] ordinance. I think it's supposed to be

[28:27] impair or invalidate. Okay.

[28:29] >> Just something that I saw when I was

[28:31] reading through it tonight.

[28:36] Uh

[28:39] okay.

[28:40] Um next item up is meeting minutes

[28:43] approval for July 28, 2026.

[28:48] Do we have any corrections?

[28:56] » Do we need to make a motion for that?

[28:58] >> Yep. A motion second. Would someone like

[29:00] to motion the uh make a motion on those

[29:03] meeting minutes?

[29:05] >> I'll make a motion to approve the

[29:06] meeting.

[29:09] >> I second.

[29:10] >> All righty. All those in favor?

[29:13] >> Yes.

[29:14] >> Any opposed?

[29:17] Okay.

[29:20] Um

[29:22] staff reports. Do we need to discuss

[29:23] anything else?

[29:27] Um, we sent uh the planning commission

[29:29] um for the fall conference. Just let us

[29:31] know if you'd like us to sign you up. Th

[29:32] those are um usually pretty

[29:34] entertaining. They have everything from

[29:36] park designs to transportation to just

[29:39] general land use.

[29:41] A lot a lot of the issues that we're

[29:42] going to deal with u throughout this next year are going to be covered

[29:45] in that in that conference. So, let us

[29:47] know. We'd love to uh to get you signed

[29:49] up. And um you know, in other cities

[29:52] like if if commissioners were going, we just carpool. So, if you need a ride,

[29:56] we we got you covered. But, um yeah,

[29:58] just email I think Gwen sent it. So,

[30:00] email Gwen and we'll make sure we get

[30:28] been pretty good. I've been in other

[30:29] cities where where we did and it's

[30:32] especially have applicants showing up.
