What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

A property owner in downtown Lisbon, who plans to open a convenience store called Lisbon Convenient Mart, learned that new zoning rules prohibit the installation of a drive-up window in that area. Councilwoman Melissa Hiner stated that the building code and zoning code changed after January 1, 2026. The owner was advised that he must seek rezoning and approval for a conditional use permit.
