“No, there's a zoning district that's commercial that's called Neighborhood Commercial. So it's commercial properties. Currently a vet could go there. A salon could go there. Oh, I see. Okay, yeah.”

“City Clerk, are there any other cards? No, sir. All right. Any discussion from council? I already kind of said my piece. I think we also need to give staff the direction when we pass this ordinance to look at bringing back other permitted uses throughout our commercial zoning districts, whether it be community commercial, regional commercial, urban village. I mean, I think that there's a lot of more meat on that bone where we can allow for fun things to happen.”

“I have a question, a clarifying question, because when I met with Brad and we were discussing this, he said 25 megawatts. So, I mean, what is the number that you said you can rationally justify based on the literature? 20. All right. I just want to make sure it wasn't changing because it felt like it changed on me.”

“City Clerk? I think the other challenge we have with this is if we don't do this, now we just have more concrete and impervious pavement running around that nobody's using. So I think it is a catch-22, but at the end of the day, I think the more we can decrease our impervious pavement, the better off we are. So that's kind of my first thought. But we're just on our first reading. Okay.”

“Thank you. Thank you very much. City Clerk, any other cards? So obviously, you know, I brought this up because I think it's important that we address recreation for our kids. The city has no money to create spaces or invest capital into our parks. In fact, I think the Parks Department has a hard time doing that. And we have a few unique resources available to us, which is our city-owned marina, which is on a land lease deal and currently unable to really commercialize down there for families to go down there. And I think that's really important is that more families be able to go into our…”

“I think we can continue the conversation with the state because, again, we still haven't finalized anything. They might not let us change the terms to our in perpetuity land lease that was written in, what, 1948? Thereabouts. While the city staff works on that, we can have a workshop. We can talk about what people want to see in their parks because at the end of the day, if you want any of these things to come to the parks, we've got to figure out what it is and how much it's going to cost and how do we move that needle.”

“But again, no decisions have been made about exactly what it is. I think just clearing this first hurdle so that we can have a conversation is important because the state might come back and say, no, you're not allowed to do any of these things, and then it's all for naught. But at the end of the day, if we can't at least be able to do some things down there, it's like there's really no point of a workshop. Member Moscoso.”
