The first item on the agenda is Z-3-10/Battle Bridge Road, then the text changes. I would guess that the text changes discussion would begin by 6:50 unless there is much opposition to Z-3-10.

Along with prohibited conditions in TC-2-10, I have major concerns that the neighborhood meeting does not specify that the CAC chair, or his/her representative, attend the neighborhood meeting. If the neighbors have had no dealings with rezoning cases prior to the neighborhood meeting, they might be taken in by promises that cannot or will not be kept - not always, but we do know that sometimes happens.

I think it will take more than my comments tonight to get TC-2-10 sent to the Planning Commission. It is my understanding that tonight the Council and PC are likely to vote to approve TC-1-10 immediately and possibly TC-2-10, too. If TC-2-10 is approved tonight, citizens will be stuck with the expanded list of prohibited zoning conditions. If that happens citizens will have very, very little say so in future rezonings.
