Chair Larson introduced the request by the City of Plymouth for a zoning ordinance
amendment to repeal the current lighting zone map and adopt a new lighting zone map.
Planner Doty gave an overview of the April 11, 2005 staff report.
Commissioner Anderson asked if compliance with the new lighting zone map applies only
to new construction and would not apply to existing businesses.
Planner Doty said the new lighting zone map would apply to new construction only.
Planning Manager Senness added that if a business or apartment complex changed over
50% of their fixtures then they would need to comply with the new lighting zone
regulations.
Commissioner Weir asked if the Holiday Gas Station which is adding a car wash will be
required to change their lighting to comply.
Planning Manager Senness said they would not since they were not changing any of their
lighting standards.
Chair Larson opened and closed the public hearing as there was no one present to speak on
the item.
MOTION by Commissioner Weir, seconded by Commissioner Holmes, to approve the
request by the City of Plymouth for a zoning ordinance amendment to repeal the current
