Zoning and land use items on the agenda include a proposal to amend the zoning of properties near 1990 and 2002 South 500 East to allow for the construction of 22 townhomes. The Council will also consider ordinances to vacate portions of City-owned alleys near 2553 South Chadwick Street and approximately 750 South Main Street.
Other items include a potential amendment to clarify that non-residential land uses are subject to a maximum daily water consumption of 200,000 gallons per day. The Council will also consider an administrative organization amendment regarding the relocation of the Engineering Division and the renaming of the Compliance Division to Urban Services.
The meeting will also involve several board appointments, including candidates for the Administrative Appeals Officer and the Library Board. The agenda concludes with provisions for public comment on City business not scheduled for a formal hearing.
