3 issues in zoning with critical priority
Hillside Foursquare Church Master Plan and Zoning Amendment
Someone is asking the city to rezone about 3.57 acres along Twin Lakes Drive near West Fourth Street to a Specific Plan District, plus a master plan change on part of the site. What gets built there — and how intensely — depends on how these requests fare. The advisory board will hear it November 9, and the Planning Commission could decide December 3.
Advisory Board Role, Structure, and Governance
Board members expressed deep frustration and concern after city council members suggested the advisory board should 'stay in their lane.' Members questioned whether their expertise is valued or if they are simply expected to act as a rubber stamp for political pet projects.
Master Plan Conformance Amendments
A proposal for master plan and zoning map amendments for a ±27.32-acre project site near Clear Acre Lane was postponed.
