Here are five items to watch:
1. Fraternity Row Rezoning
After a public hearing, the council will consider a request to change the zoning to Multi-Family for about two acres at Deacon Drive and Fraternity Row. The rezoning would allow the applicant to turn the vacant fraternity house into a dormitory.
2. Housing Plan and Tourism Committees
The council will consider creating a Housing Plan Advisory Committee and a Tourism Committee.
3. Midtown Real Estate Contract
The council will consider a contract to sell about 13 acres (with an option to purchase the remaining 15 acres) at Corporate Parkway and State Highway 6 to The Corinth Group for $8 per square foot. Corinth is planning a retail development with multiple buildings and a plaza. The approved replat will identify the final square footage.
4. Northgate Parking Lot Property
The council will consider a $13 million contract for Capstone Collegiate Communities to purchase the city-owned surface parking lot (about 1.57 acres) at 301 Patricia Street in the Northgate District.
The council will also discuss Northgate planning efforts, the timeline for a small area plan, and public engagement.
5. Elder Aid Funding Agreement
The council will consider a $249,000 federal funding agreement (HOME Investment Partnership Program) with Elder Aid to acquire and rehabilitate the residence at 1116 Detroit as an affordable rental unit for an income-qualified elderly household.
