APPROVED BY CITY ADMINISTRATOR: Michael Guttman SIGNATURE
ITEM SUMMARY:
Staff was recently approached by a party interested in installing walk-up ice/water vending machines
outside of various retail establishments in the community, such as grocery stores and hardware
stores. Section 6.27 of the Zoning Code regulates continuous outside vending and contains five
instances when continuous outside vending is permitted. Vending machines are not listed as one of
these instances and therefore would not be permitted.
Several vending machines exist throughout the City in places such as grocery stores and hardware
stores, as well as other locations. Staff is of the opinion that vending machines are ancillary uses that
should be allowed throughout City. Staff has drafted an amendment to the zoning text of Section 6.27
of the Zoning Code to permit vending machines to be located outside of a building with certain
limitations.
At their October 3 meeting, members of the Plan Commission voted unanimously (4-0, with three
absent) in support of the Zoning Text Amendment.
ACTION PROPOSED:
Discuss and recommend approval of the proposed Zoning Text Amendment.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION:
Members of the Development Committee voted unanimously (4-0) to recommend approval of the
proposed Zoning Text Amendment at their October 9, 2023 meeting.
