Potential Land Use Classification <br /> Community Development Director Jeremy Barnhart presented this item. He noted <br /> based on the direction of the Council last month,he has created two new land use <br /> categories. <br /> There was discussion about the effects and benefits for the changes with adding the two <br /> new tiers and keeping Navarre the same. <br /> Mayor Dennis Walsh mentioned that he likes the different breakouts presented but <br /> would also like to look deeper into the presented lots to make sure it all makes sense. <br /> Matt Johnson also commented that it may make sense to address the listed properties <br /> now and look at the others on the list in more depth later. <br /> Barnhart explained the process the applicants would have to go through in order to meet <br /> each bracket. <br /> Discussion followed regarding how the process works. Barnhart will initiate the public <br /> process and will bring it to the Planning Commission and then he will bring it back to <br /> Council at a later date. <br /> 2. Upcoming Topics Discussion—Update(added) <br /> City Administrator/City Engineer Adam Edwards mentioned that there may be two <br /> topics for future work sessions up for discussion. One of the topics is drone regulations. <br /> Edwards noted discussion could involve having the Chief come in to give input when <br /> the Council wants to proceed. Council recommended bringing it to a work session when <br /> there is a need to address it for the community. <br /> The other item is the Request for Proposal (RFP) cycle for Professional Services. <br /> Edwards mentioned that the RFP schedule had recently ended and that he is looking for <br /> input from the Council regarding the process going forward. <br /> The City Council advised that staff create a new schedule noting that as Professional <br /> Services near the end of their contracts the Council would like to discuss and evaluate <br /> overall services provided prior to beginning the RFP Process. <br /> Adjourned: 5:35 p.m. <br /> Page 1 of 2 <br />
