“So I think the most, the license behind the surveyor, he's the one that can tell us exactly, okay, this is 10,000 square feet or the plat, the original file plat, you know, whatever, wherever, I don't know where you can find that. But I think, you know, as far as my decision, it's like, it's important.”

“Just to clarify. The other thing I'm taking into consideration is that neighbors were notified and they are making an effort, they are here.”

“No, but I'm looking at everyone that's here and I'm thinking just a mention of, so they kind of get more familiar, I guess, but how many pages are in this code again?”

“Of a new ordinance that's gonna govern everything that we talked about, everything that comes through here. So it's a new ordinance coming into play. It was voted on and put into play August 2nd, I think? 6th. Or August 6th, and so that's the discussion, right? So it's a lot of information that's out there that I already memorized it, I don't know about you guys. It's a lot of information, so that's why we're asking, because it helps, because that's where Sapporo's going, right, and so, yeah.”

“And so there's a lot of questions crossing my mind right now over the last few weeks that all this has come up. And so I know we had the opportunity to come to you guys and discuss all this. But at this point, where Andy's at, And so, for the most part, I'm sure the new document is well-intentioned and it's good for the city and it moves forward, but I mean, it's gonna go through, right? It'll get approved, maybe some revisions or whatnot, but as far as what we're looking at right now, I feel that it's one of those things where it just needs to go through, right? Or stall it, but in all…”

“I think the topic of the day, I guess, are the data centers and then warehousing and logistics centers. And you highlighted those three items up there. I see that. The last meeting that was a topic was minimum lot widths that I had brought up. And then I think another thing we had discussed in the past were the width for streets. Right, and so I'm wondering, those are three things right now that I'm thinking, okay, where are they addressed? How are they stated? Do you have access to the document right now? Can you search it and pull up those items?”

“Can you read again the part about the 50 foot width? Does that, what does that encompass? Like all different zoning types or certain zoning types or is there a minimum lot size for that?”

“So, okay, so, and with your question, okay, so let me ask you, how many hours have you put into this document since 2024 or since when you started working on it? Like, guesstimate. many man hours just for you by yourself?”

“I think my question is a fair question. I'm just trying to show our position and our reluctance. And you're not the only one who's worked on this. There's been multiple people. You're up there right now, so that's why I'm asking you, how many hours, not invoiced hours, not just general, 1,000, 100? I have no idea. But looking at what you would answer and looking at how many hours we've looked at it, it's nothing. We have no idea what we're voting on, basically.”

“You have. You have. And we have been part of everything, right? No, absolutely no doubt. However, I'll state it, and I've stated it before, you guys are on the clock when you're doing this, right? If you put in 40 hours a week, it's 40 hours a week you get paid. We don't. Andy, do you have 40 hours in your week to look at this at any given time? I don't. I don't think any of us do, right? And so we're being asked to vote on something that we really don't have the time to review, or do we come up here and we do our best and... And it's what it is, right? And so I feel like we're being asked to…”

“Is there a vision statement at the beginning of this document? No, it's just code. It's just code. Okay, is there any reference to FTZ 302 in the document?”

“Well, I'm wondering how many people are aware of what that process was. And earlier in referencing on what it is that we research, what we spend our time on, well, we're part of the community. So there's a lot of the stuff out there that hasn't been brought to our attention at this board. And so I'm wondering how much of what's in the code is directly related to FTZ 302. And I'd venture to ask how many of the board members are familiar with FTZ 302?”

“Okay, so that's a huge one. That's a huge one. I think that should be brought up.”
Planning and Zoning Commission · Jul 21, 2026

“Okay, so FTZ 302 directly affects at least two of these, which is large-scale logistics and warehouse distribution.”

“I'm not necessarily opposed to FTZ 302, right? I'm not. but I think it goes in line with what you're asking us to vote on because we're in the dark, right? And so that's what happened with FTZ 302. We were in the dark. We never had a formal presentation as the Planning and Zoning Commission. We never had a presentation of what it entailed, but yet for the last two years and since its inception, we've been asked to vote on zoning for warehouses or whatnot. and we were not aware of, or we haven't been presented with what FTZ 302 actually is. And so, following that same logic, I'm sitting here…”

“What was the part about the end of August? Is there a deadline? that needs to be approved by city council by end of August, or was that just a timeline that was set?”
