City Council Meeting Minutes February 6, 2024 Page 6 of 14 Councilmember Hoefner agreed it is a difficult decision and all the candidates are excellent. The Council has gotten lots of letters and input on this from residents. We don't know who the voters of Ward I would choose, that is why we have the election in the fall. Mayor Leh noted that each candidate has been very involved in the City in different ways. He does not believe any one of the three is the consensus candidate for all residents of the Ward. He stated he hopes all of the candidates continue to be involved. MOTION: Mayor Leh moved to appoint Tim Bierman to the Ward I position; seconded by Councilmember Fahey. VOTE: Motion carried by unanimous roll call vote. OATH OF OFFICE FOR WARD I COUNCIL MEMBER Judge Thrower swore in Tim Bierman as the new Ward I councilmember. CONCEPT PLAN REVIEW — 1301 COURTESY ROAD/1390 CANNON STREET, DELO BOOM (WEST) Mayor Leh introduced the item. He stated this is a new process for the City: • The purpose of the concept plan review is to provide an optional opportunity for potential future land use applicants to solicit comments from the City Council in the early stages of the development review process on complex projects to inform any subsequent related applications. • Any comments from City Council should relate to existing relevant policies and regulations. • All comments provided by the City Council are advisory in nature and are not binding on the City Council. • The City Council is not required to provide any specific feedback regarding an application and a consensus or majority vote on the item will not be taken, nor will City staff provide any recommendations. Director Zuccaro stated this new process is a chance for the City Council and the public to provide input to developers early in their process. It lets them identify issues that are important to Council before they bring back a formal application. Planner Matt Post reviewed the location of this project. It currently has multiple structures for industrial, warehouse, and office uses. The subject property is located in the Highway 42 Urban Renewal Area and is located in a mandatory rezone area. In 2015, the property was rezoned from Industrial to CC -MU and MU-R, and in 2023 the eastern 2.47 acres of the property was rezoned from CC -MU to MU-R.
