There will be a Study Session at 4 p.m.:
• The Council will hear a report on development impact fees and how they may be applied
to future developments to help fund public facility needs. It is a preliminary examination of
the issue and no Council action will be taken.
The Regular Meeting begins at 5:30 p.m. and the following are items of note:
• A public hearing for a proposed zoning code amendment that would allow
restaurants and health/fitness facilities along the west side of Dover Drive between 16th
Street and Westcliff Drive. The area is adjacent to a bustling commercial strip that includes
numerous restaurants and other general service uses. The current zoning for the area
allows for offices, retail and mixed-use buildings that combine residential and retail. The
proposed amendment would expand the zoning to include restaurants and gym/fitness
facilities, subject to meeting parking requirements and obtaining a use permit.
