NEW BUSINESS: Discussion-Residential Professional Zoning: Noel reviewed Residential Professional
zoning in the City limits of Laurel along with its associated allowable uses and the lack of allowable uses.
There are only 5 parcels in the City limits that are zoned RP and all of which are developed. Most of the
uses in RP zoning require a special review process and public hearing. Noel states she is following the
process but the Planning Board may want to think about updating this zoning district. Noel also stated
that staff has been working to do an overhaul of the LMC for updates.She recommended that since that
planning board works out of Chapters 17& 18,they wait to make any changes to RP zoning when Noel
has a chance to update the entire zoning chapter.The subdivision regulations had just had a complete
update from Monica and only need minor,legislative driven, updates.
There was some talk about rezoning along 1s`avenue and what that would take.
