City Council - Regular Meeting

The City Council approved several reappointments to boards, including Shannon Walden to the Cemetery Advisory Board and Jay Lockhart to the Water Works Board. They also approved a contract for the resurfacing and maintenance of the Charlotte and Curtis Ward bike trail and authorized a contract for landscape renovations at Veterans Memorial Park. A request to rezone 36.6 acres for a housing development was denied due to concerns about the future land use plan, while a request for a conditional use approval for a tattoo shop was approved with a condition that operating hours end by 9:00 p.m. The Council also postponed a decision on the Coldplay’s Phase One development until January 6, 2026, and approved an amendment to the city code to exclude gross receipts from consumable vapor products from business license calculations. Additionally, they approved conditional use requests for two multi-unit developments and an expansion of an industrial use for 2A USA. Finally, the Council authorized a contract for a traffic study and a commercial development agreement with Swanson Diamond Center, Inc., and approved the vacation of portions of public alley/right-of-way on Duplex Court for Lovely Investments LLC, Sweet Auburn Holdings, and Wonder Twin Powers LLC.
