Meetings this week


City Council Meeting:

The City Council is meeting today at 4:30 pm - a change from their typical start time.  For anyone interested in going to the meeting, please take note of the time.  The meeting agenda is HERE.

DRC Meeting:

The Development Review Commission hearing on the Wizer Block development will continue on Wednesday, July 30 (tomorrow) at 6:00 pm in the Council Chambers.  The public hearing is closed to testimony and the commissioners will deliberate on the testimony they have received and make a decision on the development application.

Meeting Agenda and Staff Report

Project Page with Exhibits

Wizer Block Development - LORA Page

There should be one page for all exhibits - citizens should not have to hunt for key documents from different departments in order to be informed.  If you want to review all documents for this project, you must access both the Planning website and the LORA website.

Community Development Code Changes:

There will be more critical code updates and changes coming this summer.  The first public hearing before the Planning Commission on Nonconforming uses and Variances was last night, but there is much more to come.  If you have any interest in the community development codes that are the basis for all development decisions in the city, you must start NOW to read the code changes, understand what they mean, and make suggestions to the Planning Commission about what you would like to see.  Watch the city calendar to see when code planning is mentioned for a meeting item and stay current with issues as they develop.

The CDCs (Community Development Codes) can be extremely difficult to understand and may be even more difficult to comprehend how they might affect downtown development, infill development in your neighborhood, or how and where the city develops in general.  If you need help deciphering the codes, call the planning department and talk to your neighbors.  Let everyone know about what is being planned for the future of our city!    Your voice is needed!
