Ottawa zoning changes on agenda for city commission meeting
Ottawa city commission will consider amendments to subdivision regulations to ease platting for landowners with 10 or more acres near the city and within a half mile, waiving annexation. An ordinance would allow auto parts stores in CS Highway Service zoning and a special-use permit for Jim Poe scrap metal business with fencing and drainage conditions. A setback change for C-2 zones would let parking begin five feet from the street. A budget amendment of 288,948 to fund central dispatch is also on the agenda.
