Waive the second readings and adopt the following ordinances:
Ordinance No. 1093 for text amendments (RZ 26-001) to the Brentwood Municipal Code that would amend and add regulations for signs, Microenterprise Home Kitchen Operations (MEHKO), public hearing notices, electrified fencing, and application review and appeal procedures, to ensure consistency with state and federal law; Ordinance No. 1094 for text amendments (RZ 26-001) to the Brentwood Municipal Code that would limit the total number of automobile service stations/gas stations to 20 within the city by adding Brentwood Municipal Code Chapter 17.665 (Automobile Service Stations/Gas Stations); and Ordinance No. 1095 for text amendments (RZ 26-001) to the Brentwood Municipal Code to add regulations and development standards related to stream setbacks within the city by adding Brentwood Municipal Code Chapter 17.625 (Stream Setback Regulations).
