Rochester Planning Commission Meeting - July 2, 2018

The City of Rochester Planning Commission’s July 2, 2018 meeting focused on zoning and site-plan reviews for private development; no municipal procurement, contract awards, bids, or public capital-spending decisions were identified. The commission unanimously recommended sending a proposed zoning-ordinance amendment on temporary sales trailers to City Council. For the proposed expansion of Tulu at 139 South Main Street, commissioners approved forwarding a parking-in-lieu request covering seven required spaces to Council, which would decide any payment reduction or arrangement; discussion cited an estimated $84,000 obligation. A public hearing on the I Chillin Cafe request at 107 East Second Street was scheduled for the August meeting because the parking request had not been properly noticed.
