Four ordinances regarding a proposed "Highway Commercial District" on east U.S. 160 were sent back to the Wellington Planning Commission for further discussion. One ordinance establishes the district which will run from Boundary Road to Broadway Road, another limits the types of businesses which can be established in the district, and another addresses landscaping. The fourth ordinance amends the City's sign ordinance.
The topic of debate is how wide the district should encompass. The Planning Commission is proposing a district that stretches from one mile south of U.S. 160 to 1/2 mile north of U.S. 160. Some City Council members have expressed a desire to widen the HCP further.
Businesses such as exotic dancing clubs, pawn shops, check cashing and payday loan businesses, and salvage yards will be prohibited from building in this district.
