During the meeting held at Washington City Hall, the council reviewed an agenda that included the approval of minutes from the previous City Council meeting held on July 22, 2026. The council also addressed the Board Audit Report from July 2026.
Zoning and Land Use Changes
The council considered two specific ordinances involving zoning changes. The first, Ordinance Z-26-14, proposed a zone change from C-1 and R-1-10 to C-2. This change involves property located at Antigua Lane and George Washington Blvd. and was submitted by applicant Rosenberg & Associates.
The second zoning matter, Ordinance Z-26-15, involved a change from OS to I-2. This ordinance concerns property within the Sunrise Valley Industrial Park on Foundry Drive, with Guy Salisbury identified as the applicant.

In addition to the zoning ordinances, the council addressed a resolution regarding public improvements. The resolution involves a Public Improvements Reimbursement agreement with Green Springs Washington, LLC for the Solente Project.
This agreement is specifically related to the construction of a 1 million gallon irrigation water storage tank, according to the official meeting agenda.
