The proposed zoning change would separate inpatient substance use disorder treatment facilities from other medical uses and require case-by-case approval before they could operate in the affected districts. A special use permit would allow the city to review site-specific issues such as operational security and discharge procedures. The commission also voted 5-0 to begin drafting zoning changes involving R-8 setbacks, meat processing and storage facilities in the M-1 district, and sign regulations.
