The committee reviewed a proposal to update downtown zoning so the area can better support storefronts, restaurants, and housing while limiting uses that do not fit downtown well. Staff recommended the most conservative of three zoning options, with the plan expected to stay temporary until the new comprehensive plan is approved. Members also discussed stormwater rules, including whether Westmont should keep requiring more detention storage than the county and whether small residential projects or downtown sites should be treated differently. The discussion focused on balancing flood protection with the cost and difficulty of building on vacant or redeveloping parcels.
