Plus, Planning Commission appointment and county parks levy
During Monday’s extended study session, the City Council agreed to develop the code for the East Main light rail station area and approved the East Main Consolidated Guiding Principles.
The East Main light rail station area is envisioned as a vibrant, livable and memorable transit-oriented neighborhood with a distinct character.
The council vision encourages walking, bicycling and transit through mixed-use development and street enhancements. This development will blend residential, office, retail space and hotels.
Additional information is available in the agenda packet materials.
