5 issues in development with medium priority
Easement Abandonment at 801 N. Lompa Lane
Abandoning the never-built drainage and utility easement clears the way for future development on vacant land and supports extending N. Lompa Lane to connect with Airport Road and Butti Way. It fixes an oversight from the 2025 right-of-way abandonment.
Closure of Community Development Audit Findings
Two previously flagged audit findings — credit card security and Public Guardian asset management — would be closed out after staff completed remediation plans.
Transparency after collapse of downtown Neighbors negotiations
Talks with developer Steve Neighbors collapsed, and residents want to see the board's next steps as they happen — not after decisions are made. One resident asked for a public request for information on city space needs and a citizens' advisory committee to give residents real input.
Plateau Subdivision extension
Phase 2 of the Plateau Subdivision is blocked because the city hasn't yet acquired water intertie easements, so staff are asking for two more years on the map before it expires December 5, 2026.
Charter School Facility Proposal Withdrawn
A plan to convert a big empty office building on South Curry Street into a pre-K through 8th grade charter school fell through — the developer withdrew after losing the site. The property stays as-is for now.
