Last Thursday's early morning study session was certainly a HUMDINGER for more reasons than one.
It was ten minutes short of three hours with so much thrown on the agenda. It was not the usual push-over or slam-dunk ----- lots of interactive questions and discussions AND Public Participation.
IT WAS ALL CONFUSING AT THE START... and then there was more input on the draft proposal for that "Anti-Discrimination" issue
In addition to all the items on the agenda for Monday, March 01, 2021 (scroll down below), City Manager Chris Brady threw in three Power-Point Slide Presentations:
ITEM 1
1 Review and discuss items on the agenda for the March 1, 2021 regular Council meeting
NOTE: Item *5-a is up first when the City Manager wants it in that order - located in District 1 that is prepresented by Mark Freeman (and the mayor is corrected when he says that one objection is the height of the parking garage)...???? The vote at the PZ Board just the day before was TBD
5 Introduction of the following ordinance and setting March 15, 2021 as the date of the public hearing on this ordinance:
ITEM *5-a 21-0158 ZON20-00538 (District 1)
Within the 1200 to 1400 blocks of West Bass Pro Drive (south side) and the 1100 block of North Alma School Road (west side). Located south of the 202 Red Mountain Freeway on the west side of Alma School Road (30.9± acres).
Modification to the Planned Area Development (PAD) Overlay on the property; and Site Plan Review. This request will allow for a new office building and parking garage within an existing office development.
