Staff proposed an amendment to the B-2 (downtown business) district lot area and width

place. The building code does require a minimum square footage for habitable space.
For any new construction,there is an overlay district with design standards. Commission
members agreed with this amendment.
Staff also proposed the addition of warehouse facilities as a conditional use in the B-3
(heavy business) district. There are 63 properties zoned B-3 and are along First Street,to
the north of downtown along Willow and Pine Streets, and the Farmington Business
