§ 160.002 PURPOSE.
(c) The land use regulations divide the area into a number of forms and zoning districts:
(7) Mixed-use planned unit developments are encouraged with design standards as recommended in the adopted Sioux Falls Comprehensive Plan. As an existing mixed-use area, downtown is one of the city’s largest employment centers and a burgeoning residential area. The downtown mixed-use district is differentiated from the other districts not only by the variety of uses it allows, but also because of the highly dense physical attributes of the downtown area.

§ 160.005 DEFINITIONS.

Section 4. That subsection (a) of Section 160.039 of the Code of Ordinances of Sioux Falls, SD, is hereby amended to read:
§ 160.039 CONSERVATION (CN).
(a) Intent. This district is intended to provide the city with public drainage, open space, and natural areas to provide protection from floods and erosion, to protect views, to preserve natural settings for wildlife habitats, to add to the aesthetic quality of the community, and to lessen the urban density. Other allowable uses include golf courses, cemeteries, and other similar uses that are typically compatible with a conservation area.
Section 5. That subsection (a) of Section 160.045 of the Code of Ordinances of Sioux Falls, SD, is hereby amended to read:

(a) Intent.

(1) Total number of trees required.
A. Trees shall be required at the rate of one tree per 50 feet of frontage including all platted public streets, private streets, and highways, not including the width of perpendicular driveways, or one tree per six required parking, loading, and stacking spaces provided on the site, whichever is greater. Frontages with less than 50 feet require at least one tree. Where fractional trees result, the number of required trees shall be rounded to the nearest whole number. If a buffer yard is also required (see § 160.488) within a front yard and trees are provided as the required buffer yard landscaping units, the required number of trees required by this section may be eliminated but for only the frontage that shares the buffer yard.
B. Exception: If parking facilities or building can utilize zero setbacks, one tree per 50 feet of frontage shall be provided within the right-of-way subject to approval by the city engineer.
(2) Placement according to size, type, and percentage allowed.

Evergreen or coniferous trees must be a minimum of 6 feet in height.
E. Required species mix. The city of Sioux Falls encourages a diverse and vibrant urban forest. In order to avoid overplanting of one specific type of species minimum requirements have been established for the number of species based upon the total number of trees required on a site.

<4 1
5-10 2
11-20 3
21-30 4
31+ 5
F. Exception: On sites with limited capacity due to existing conditions or redevelopment restrictions, alternatives to placement standards are allowed through the provisions of § 160.599 (Landscape and Buffer Yard Alternative Plans).
(3) Interior parking space tree requirements.
A. When unenclosed interior parking spaces are provided on the site, one tree shall be required for every 18 interior parking spaces after a minimum of 36 interior parking spaces are provided. Every interior tree shall be located in a planting island entirely within the hard-surfaced area utilized for parking and maneuvering purposes. The islands shall have dimensions of at least five feet wide and contain a minimum of 36 square feet per tree. Planting islands shall utilize raised curbs or wheelstops necessary to prevent damage from vehicles. Interior trees shall be allowed to be grouped into a larger island. Each tree, if grouped, shall have a minimum of 36 square feet per tree.

(4) Existing tree bonus. The city encourages preservation of any existing trees on a site which are in good condition and at least one and three- quarter inch caliper in size. The trees may be counted as part of the required number of trees on a site. A credit of two trees toward the number of required trees shall be given for each existing tree on a site that is of an acceptable species which is over ten-inch caliper in size. This credit, however, may not be applied in reducing the number of required interior trees.
(5) Unlawful cutting of trees or shrubs. The topping or severe trimming, destroying, or removal of any trees, shrubs, or other vegetation is prohibited in any area where the trees or shrubs are required to be placed under this Code. Target pruning of trees shall not exceed 25% of the canopy height.

§ 160.594 PROCEDURE.
The city planning commission, after a public hearing, may approve alternatives for common open space, parking reductions, landscaping buffer yards, signage master plans, and streetcar forms upon finding that an applicant has demonstrated that the intent of the appropriate zoning ordinance section can be more effectively met, in whole or in part, through an Alternative Site Plan. The planning commission encourages alternative site plans that enhance the aesthetics and improves the livability of the community through the adopted Sioux Falls Comprehensive Plan land use and development policies. Acceptable types of situations where alternative site plans will be approved are included with the following standards. Alternative site plans cannot allow variance from bulk regulations unless specifically delineated in the alternative site plan standards in §§ 160.598–160.603.
Section 33. That Section 160.600 of the Code of Ordinances of Sioux Falls, SD, is hereby amended to read:
§ 160.600 PARKING REDUCTION ALTERNATIVE PLANS.
A parking reduction alternative plan is eligible for MD, BCF, RE, MU, and WM forms only. Any other parking reductions must be granted a variance by the Zoning Board of Adjustment. When an applicant can show that the required parking amounts are in excess of what is needed for the proposed use, the applicant may submit a request with justification based on the standards below to the planning commission for off-street parking space reductions. The planning commission will consider and act on this request as a part of the full development application process (see application requirement in § 160.595).
(a) Application standards. One of the below standards is required along with a standard that any adjacent or nearby properties will not have significant parking overflow created due to the application.
(1) The requirements for parking found in §§ 160.550 et seq. (Parking, Loading, and Stacking Regulations) do not accurately depict the parking needs of the proposed use and the requested reduction will accommodate the parking demand to be generated by the proposed use. Surplus nonresidential on-street or public spaces in the area may be taken into consideration.
(2) The reduction in parking will provide a benefit for reduced storm drainage runoff with open drainage areas.
(3) The reduction in parking will provide a benefit for pedestrian access to the site.
(4) The reduction in parking will provide a benefit to the overall environment through a certified LEED designed building
(b) Parking study.
(1) Content. A parking study submitted to satisfy the requirements of §§ 160.550 et seq. (Parking, Loading, and Stacking) shall include the following information based upon the reason the parking study is required. The director of planning and development services, or their designee, upon consultation with the city engineer and the agency responsible for approval of off-street parking facilities, may waive any of these required contents or require additional information depending upon the specifics of the application. The parking study shall be reviewed by, and must be acceptable to, the director of planning and development services and the city engineer, or their designees.
(2) A site survey that includes an analysis of the peak demand for two similar or like facilities in terms of use and size. The analysis should include the facilities’ peak parking days of the week and hours of the day, as depicted by a study of the existing parking spaces hourly during the peak hours of usage and hourly four hours before and after the time for each facility. It should also include the number of spaces each facility contains. The study will include the expected number of people, type of land uses, and times of occupancy of each building in the plan.
(3) Any other information requested by the director of planning and development services, or their designee, or the agency responsible for approval of off-street parking facilities.
(4) A site plan showing the location of on-street and off-street parking spaces used in the parking study. The map shall clearly delineate the location and number of spaces used in the study.
Section 34. That subsection (b) of Section 160.602 of the Code of Ordinances of Sioux Falls, SD, is hereby amended to read:
§ 160.602 SIGNAGE ALTERNATIVE PLANS.
(b) Standards.
(1) The proposed sign(s) are architecturally and aesthetically compatible with the major structures on the subject site and adjacent sites and is compatible with the major character of the established neighborhood and general environment.
(2) The proposed sign(s) are consistent with the standards within the adopted Sioux Falls Comprehensive Plan while also meeting the below standards.
A. Larger signs may be warranted when a street or highway is designed with speeds and sight distances that require larger sizes to be readable.
B. The proposed sign should only be as large as what is required to adequately communicate intended messages without distracting motorists, inhibiting visibility, or presenting other visual conflicts or safety hazards. Periodic review of the engineering office’s adopted MUTCD standards should be considered.
C. The proposed sign should be spaced far enough from other signs so as to avoid visual clutter and provide adequate visibility at driveways and intersections and from one sign to another along a street corridor.
D. The proposed sign shall be oriented away, when possible, from adjacent residential neighborhoods.
E. In pedestrian-oriented business districts, limit signs to appropriately-scaled signs, including wall or attached projecting signs; or monument signs when buildings are setback from the street property line.
(3) Sign is allowed within the applicant’s area that is otherwise allowed by the on-premises sign regulations subchapter §§ 160.570 et seq.
(4) A master sign plan may be provided for all current and future signs within a campus identified by size, color, shape, height, and common theme. This master plan can allow additional flexibility for size, height, and location of signage if it can be demonstrated that the master sign plan is superior and more innovative than general standards and promotes a more attractive environment.
Section 35. That subsection (g) of Section 160.633 of the Code of Ordinances of Sioux Falls, SD, is hereby amended to add the following definitions:
§ 160.633 PLANNING COMMISSION HEARINGS.
(g) Planning commission standards for approval. The future land use map amendment shall be required when the director of planning and building services determines that the policies of the adopted Sioux Falls Comprehensive Plan are not being met.

§ 160.652 REVIEW CRITERIA.
(c) The proposed amendment is consistent with the purpose of this Land Development Code, the adopted Sioux Falls Comprehensive Plan and other adopted policies of the city.
(d) No proposed amendment shall be allowed that is a spot zoning. Spot zoning is a rezoning of a lot or parcel to benefit an owner for a use that is incompatible with surrounding land uses and that does not further the adopted Sioux Falls Comprehensive Plan. Spot zoning does not necessarily occur when there is an isolated parcel that is zoned differently than the adjacent zoning. Spot zoning occurs only when all of the following situations occur:
(1) A small parcel of land is singled out for special and privileged treatment.
(2) The singling out is not in the public interest but only for the benefit of the land owner.
(3) The action is not in accord with the adopted Sioux Falls Comprehensive Plan.
Section 37. That Section 160.757 of the Code of Ordinances of Sioux Falls, SD, is hereby amended to read:
§ 160.757 FEES FOR ZONING VERIFICATION LETTERS.
A fee of $65 shall be charged for any property compliance letter requesting zoning, property maintenance, or other ordinance conformance information. Each parcel shall be considered as a unique request and require a separate fee..

Action 39939
Daniel Conrad, Assistant Superintendent, presented 2027-28 Calendar Year Proposal report as follows (MRF #19960):
The 30-member Sioux Falls School District Calendar Committee, which includes representatives from building and central administration, teachers from each level, a broad range of staff groups, parents, school board members, and key partners like SFEA. The committee recently met to develop the proposed 2027-2028 school calendar for School Board consideration. Calendars are developed two years in advance to support planning for staff and families and may be adjusted as needed.
Recommendations for the 2027-2028 school year include:
● Starting the school year on Thursday, August 26th, 2027, with a staggered start to ease the transition back to school;
● Concluding the school year prior to Memorial Day weekend, with the last student day on Wednesday, May 24th, 2028;
● Observing Native American Day and Martin Luther King Jr. Day as non-attendance days for students, teachers, and corresponding 9-month staff;
● Holding graduation on Sunday, May 21st, 2028;
● October 12th and March 6th will be full-day teacher in-service days, with district-led professional development in the morning and building-led professional development in the afternoon (elementary schools may use the afternoon for Parent-Teacher Conferences if desired), and the compensatory day for spring conferences will be March 17th.
The Calendar Committee also recommended conducting a stakeholder survey in fall 2026 to help ensure the school calendar continues to reflect the priorities of the SFSD community.
A motion was made by Dawn Marie Johnson and seconded by Gail Swenson four (4) votes “yes” on roll call acknowledging the 2027-28 Calendar Year Proposal report.
Action 39940
Doug Morrison, Assistant Superintendent, presented District Staff Survey Results report as follows (MRF #19961):
The 2025-26 Staff Survey captured feedback from 1,720 employees across eight work groups and thirty-seven school locations throughout the Sioux Falls School District (SFSD). This comprehensive survey measured staff perceptions on professional development, workplace culture, resources, workload, and overall satisfaction. The survey included ten Agree/Disagree questions, six Yes/No questions, and three open-ended questions that generated nearly 7,000 comments.
An encouraging trend emerged in the Net Promoter Score (NPS), which measures employees’ willingness to recommend the SFSD as a workplace. The NPS has steadily increased over the past three years, demonstrating growing staff satisfaction and positive sentiment about the district as an employer.
Results show significant strengths in several areas. Staff maintain exceptionally high expectations for students (94-99% favorable across all groups) and report strong colleague support networks (92-96%). Most employees feel safe in their work environment (87-100%) and supported by their direct supervisors (87-97%). The district’s professional culture remains strong, with 84-97% of staff reporting professional and courteous interactions among colleagues.
The survey also identified areas requiring attention. Workload emerged as a concern, with 52% of teachers reporting that their workload is reasonable, while other groups ranged from 77-100%. Professional development satisfaction varies by level and role, with district-level professional development receiving 58% favorable ratings from high school staff and 65-90% from other groups. Building-level professional development showed similar variation (75-97%) across schools. The survey revealed variation in staff experience across buildings, with some questions showing 40-50 percentage point differences between schools.
Analysis of open-ended comments provided insights into employee perspectives. When asked what would make them consider leaving, compensation was mentioned frequently across all work groups, along with workload and support concerns. When asked what keeps them at the SFSD, staff most often cited their love of students and the work, followed by benefits and retirement packages, and strong colleague relationships. Staff suggestions for improving employee engagement included recognition and appreciation, social events and team building, improved communication from leadership, and meaningful professional development.
A motion was made by Marc Murren and seconded by Gail Swenson four (4) votes “yes” on roll call acknowledging the District Staff Survey Results report.
Action 39941
On motion by Gail Swenson and seconded by Marc Murren four (4) votes “yes” on roll call, the School Board adjourned at 6:28 p.m.

SUMMONS
TO MIL THON FRANSICO MONTES GARCIA, THE ABOVE-NAMED DEFENDANT:
YOU ARE HEREBY SUMMONED and required to answer the Verified Complaint for Sole Legal and Physical Custody and Petition for Name Change of Minor Child, a copy of which is herewith served upon you and is filed with the above-named Court, and to serve a copy of your Answer on Plaintifrs attorney, Casey Eekhoff, at the address below, within thirty (30) days from the date of the service of this Summons upon you, exclusive of the day of such service.
IF YOU FAIL TO DO SO, judgment by default may be rendered against you for the relief demanded in the Complaint sixty (60} days from the day of service of this Summons and Verified Complaint for Sole Legal and Physical Custody, and Name Change of Minor Child, not counting the day of service.
NOTICE
South Dakota law provides that upon the filing and service of the Summons and Verified Complaint for Sole Legal and Physical Custody and Petition for Name Change of Minor Child on the Defendant, an Initial Custody Order shall be in effect against both parties until the final decree is entered, the Verified Complaint for Sole Legal and Physical Custody and Petition for Name Change of Minor Child, is dismissed or until further order of the court. Either party may apply to the Court for further temporary orders or modification or revocation of this Order.
INITIAL CUSTODY ORDER
Pursuant to SDCL § 25-4A-11 et seq., upon service of this Summons the attached South Dakota Parenting Guidelines (Form UJS-302) become an order of this court. Any minor children shall remain in the custody of the parent who has been the primary caregiver for the minor children for the majority of time in the twelve months preceding the filing of the Summons and Verified Complaint for Sole Legal and Physical Custody and Petition for Name Change of Minor Child, which is the Plaintiff in this case unless the parties otherwise agree. The guidelines are subject to any provision established by a South Dakota state court in the following: a temporary or permanent protection order, an order arising out of an abuse or neglect proceeding, a bond condition arising out of a criminal case, and an order in any other proceeding affecting child custody or support.
The attached guidelines apply and shall continue in effect unless the parties agree or the court otheiwise orders. Imposition of these standard guidelines creates no presumption as to who may be awarded custody at any hearing. An agreement by the parties for visitation other than the standard guidelines must be in writing, signed by both parties, and filed with the court. The agreed plan shall be approved by court order and replace the standard guidelines, or any plan previously filed.
If either party object to the implementation of the South Dakota Parenting Guidelines (Form UJS-302) as the initial custody arrangement, the objecting party shall file an objection with the Clerk of Court. The court shall order a hearing which shall be held not later than 30 days after the date of objection. The court shall then issue its temporary custody and visitation order after considering the best interest of the child(ren) consistent with the provisions of SDCL § 25-4-45.
