“so um i did send this question in advance and we got we got an answer or got some information so thank you james um but it didn't address my entire question and so when i went to the cip for this project um to look at the budget and to look at the scope it said that this was a three-layer section and two pieces from A.W. Grimes to Faber and then from Faber to Monica. And the budget for both of those sections um appears to be 650 000. now in this contract and the map which I appreciate it's only one section from AW Grimes to favor so now it looks like the product we're paying the almost the…”

“So our CIP project does include it from AW Grimes all the way to Monica, which is the The city limits is what it's described here. But the actual contract just says, AW Grimes to favor, and the map only says AW Grimes to favor. So that was my...”

“So because I'm looking at the map in the packet and it says to favor and the map only goes to favor. Right over there. So do we have a new contract? that says we're doing the whole?”

“But is the scope of this contact with the engineer? The engineer will include the entire city section. So then we need a, so the contract in the packet is not accurate for the scope.”

“I feel uncomfortable that the contract we have says to favor, the map in the packet shows to favor. This is a different map.”

“Can we clarify that the engineering firm actually scoped it? I mean, they put this in there, so it could be a different cost.”

“No worries. See? Regularly. The green portion is the city limits. So it's AW Grimes to Faber, and then the purple line is the city limits to Monica.”

“No, Faber is below. This is how I learned my number work. Right there. There you go. That's Faber right there. Because that goes into two neighborhoods. That's Faber. Right.

“I mean if we're calling it I'd like to understand how how do we get access to pricing from other cities I love this idea I just I didn't know how it worked right so I've seen it in I've seen it in our own country we've done before where we have offered our pricing to other communities mayor would you say it actually happens regularly on occasion Oh rarely rarely”

“Can you explain what a zero lot line is?”

“Oh, I just, I mean, similar. I was just wondering where exactly in the city that these new zonings could apply. Have you contemplated that?”
City Council · Sep 8, 2026

“So I'm a visual learner. Just wondering, do we have a map of like where the city and where these different zones could apply? And then also I'm wondering about the process. Is this just like, okay, we're proactively changing whatever is... I forget all the acronyms, but the duplex one, are we actively changing that or does the landowner have to come and say, okay, you have this new zoning now and I want that and they have to go through this application process. So just those two things about sure.”

“I'm just, I just want, what is the scope of these changes? Like how many acres does this actually impact is what I'm trying to understand. And I think, you know, depending on who you ask right in the community, that could make a difference on how they feel. You know, like, I don't know, is this only going to change 10% of our land? Or is it going to change 50% of the available land? I don't know. And so it's hard. I'm just trying to understand, like, what kind of impact this is. And then as far as density on those areas of land, what would this do? Like how many more people or how many more…”

“Yeah. I think that would be good. You know, it's hard to, I mean, this is theoretical, right? But seeing it on the map of like, what would the impact be is more concrete.”

“So the new coding of NMU, theoretically, could that just only go where it's currently single-family zoned, or could that go in the corridor, CL4 and CL5?”

“If we approve this, then the second step is what you're saying, that we would go and say, okay, this could apply to these current areas, and then if someone wanted to change, they could come and then request it. Yes.”

“So does that, how much of a barrier does that create when you have to apply for the zoning change if you are then in a designated eligible area?”

“Well, that begs the question about how many other cities do this type of development, how successful is it, and how much of a demand is there for it?”
