Here are five items to watch:
1. FY 24 Budget Amendment
After a public hearing, the council will consider a $13.57 million amendment to the city’s FY 24 budget because of the annual encumbrance roll for goods budgeted and ordered in FY23 or earlier and not received. Most of the encumbrance roll is for fleet purchases.
2. Greens Prairie Rezoning
After a public hearing, the council will consider a request to change the zoning from Restricted Suburban to Planned Development District for about 250 acres between Greens Prairie Road and Diamondback Drive. The applicant wants to provide smaller lots and home sizes requiring less maintenance and upkeep for young professionals and seniors.
3. Fitch Parkway Concept Plan
After a public hearing, the council will consider a request to amend the Planned Development District concept plan for about 20 acres at 525 William D. Fitch Parkway, east of Victoria Avenue. The amendment removes the building and parking layout while keeping previously approved uses.
4. Avenue A Rezoning
After a public hearing, the council will consider a request to change the zoning from General Suburban to Middle Housing and High Occupancy Overlay for about one acre at 818-826 Avenue A. The applicant intends to build duplexes.
5. Fire Station No. 7 Design
The council will consider a $925,000 contract with Martinez Architects for designing Fire Station No. 7 at 2981 Greens Prairie Road. The $18 million project was approved by voters in 2022 to improve response capabilities in southern parts of the city, including the Wellborn area.
