The commission reviewed a special exception use permit request from Bill and Jamie Nelson. The Nelsons requested approval to operate a golf and softball instruction business as a home occupation within two accessory buildings on their property. The proposal generated significant public comment, with neighbors expressing concerns about traffic, trespassing, and compatibility with the rural residential character of the area. The commission deliberated on the issue and decided to table the decision to gather more information, referencing a past similar case for guidance. Additionally, the commission discussed amendments to the zoning ordinance regarding accessory dwelling units, parking regulations, and transportation and mobility standards.
