Staff has intended to look at the permitted and conditional <br />uses in this district as part of the larger Highway 10 corridor effort. This application has prompted <br />moving this topic forward sooner than previously anticipated. After the Comprehensive Plan <br />Update, Staff will still look at the corridor as a whole and consider permitted, conditional, and <br />accessory uses. <br />Citizen Innut <br />Commissioner VanScoy asked how the City defined light manufacturing within City Code. <br />Community Development Director Gladhill reported this was defined by industry code, noting <br />light manufacturing was to take place indoors and enclosed. He indicated light manufacturing was <br />not to create noise, vibrations or air pollution which would disturb neighboring properties. <br />Commissioner Anderson suggested the definition of light manufacturing be added to this <br />Ordinance. <br />Planning Commission/May 3, 2018 <br />Page 3 of 11 <br />
