Director added that through recent work on the Comprehensive Plan this issue became more apparent.
Commissioner VanderWiel inquired what the objection is to having Membership Organizations in the Zoning Districts.

the land use impacts of the use, which is not appropriate for the zoning ordinance.
Commissioner Reed inquired if there are current membership organizations within the affected zoning district. Klatt

American Legion, more as a restaurant bar for zoning purposes. .
