location of retail and restaurants.
Dr. Goetz also noted that the legislation references light industrial and not heavy industrial,
which prohibits the creation of a data center in the area.
Dr. Weinstein stated that she appreciates all the community feedback and while amenities like
housing are important to employers, the amendment incorporates the two items that received
the most comments, which were residential and grocery. She further stated that the zoning is a
framework and there is no planned development at this time, but would hopefully return the
site to income generating.
Mr. Brezovec commented that the amendments cover the vast majority of feedback received at
this point but wanted Council to consider sending the legislation back to Planning Commission.
Mayor Anzevino conferred with Mr. Pitchford, who stated that there was still an opportunity to
do so.
A subsidiary motion was made by Mr. Brezovec, seconded by Mr. Sutton, to refer Ordinance
No. 25-146 back to the Planning Commission for 120 days for further consideration.
Dr. Bird stated that the consequence of sending it back to Planning Commission for 120 days is
that the City is vulnerable to applications for services not included in the amendment, such as
auto repair, auto rental, and 40,000 s.f. retail, that could be submitted and considered for that
district. He further stated that if Council passes the amendment tonight, it does not preclude
Planning Commission from discussing this further.
Mr. Brezovec responded that if the motion fails, he would welcome Planning Commission's
feedback on the proposed District 11 as well as the work they are doing on Planned
Development.
The motion to refer Ordinance No. 25-146 back to Planning Commission failed by the following
vote:
Aye:
Nay:
3 - Mr. White, Mr. Brezovec and Mr. Sutton
4 - Dr. Bird, Ms. D'Eramo, Dr. Goetz and Dr. Weinstein
Mayor Anzevino returned to the main motion to pass as amended with the version dated May
19, 2026. Ms. Wheeler asked for clarification, noting there was also an Exhibit A dated May 19,
2026. Staff confirmed the revised ordinance and Exhibit A dated for May 19, 2026 correspond
with one another and Ms. D'Eramo and Dr. Goetz approved the amending of their motion.
Mr. Brezovec asked for a point of clarification that if the Ordinance was voted down, would the
vote tally qualify as "new information" required for a motion to reconsider to send it back to
the Planning Commission by the prevailing side. Mr. Pitchford advised that it did.
The motion to pass Ordinance No. 25-146 as amended with the version dated May 19, 2026 and
Exhibit A dated May 19, 2026, passed by the following vote:
Aye:
6 - Dr. Bird, Mr. Brezovec, Ms. D'Eramo, Dr. Goetz, Dr. Weinstein and Mr.
White
Nay:
1 - Mr. Sutton
