At this time there is no proposal to which Council can react. The potential developers are still formulating their concept, and once we receive it the City has an obligation to review it. The City Council has control over zoning, and through its review processes has the ability to approve or reject any proposals for higher density. The City has its greatest level of discretion with changes to the Comp Plan and zoning- see the attached Planning and Zoning Discretion Pyramid. 1ULY 2013 Building/Planning/Zoning Update In addition to normal day-to-day business (which includes preparing PC and Council memos, letters written, and regular phone calls, etc) Planning Staff met with a number of residents, developers, realtors etc in the month ofJune.
