November 21, 2025 — Meeting Transcript

This is a transcript of a Clayton City Council strategic discussion session held November 21, 2025. Excerpts show staff and council discussion of proposed updates to the uniform development code and non‑residential/mixed‑use regulations tied to the city’s comprehensive plan, including architectural and site‑design standards, parking and floor‑area-ratio considerations, and how to replace or standardize streetlight fixtures. The excerpts record discussion of removing some PUD requirements, conflicts between height and floor‑area‑ratio limits in high‑density commercial zoning, possible public‑benefit requests from developers, and options and cost follow‑ups for specific light pole and fixture types; no formal votes or numeric levy/rate figures are recorded in the provided excerpts.

Good afternoon. We are here for our November 21st discussion session. I think we're going to start with Anna Crane, our planning director, and she's going to talk to us about the uniform development code. Okay. So we're going to walk you through the proposed regulations. Councilwoman Buse has heard this a few times now, so she might be just as much of an expert as the rest of us. So if you want to, I'll just run it. There we go. Okay, so just a really quick overview before I turn it over to our planner, Ryan, and he will walk you through the details. So as you all recall, we have a new comprehensive plan that we've been going through our implementation of the package of commercial or what we've deemed the non-residential and mixed use regulations that we're proposing those attempt to cover wholly or in part the eight key results from that implementation matrix from our comprehensive plan so this covers a lot of goals that we have for implementing and changing especially our commercial districts today So how did we get here to that long list of eight key results that cover a lot about different districts? We started with a couple of small key results really focusing on transit-oriented development overlay districts and some of our PUD zoning and why that's happening within downtown. As we quickly realized, though, it wasn't going to be very efficient or effective for us to try and just address such small pieces of the code.
