The purpose of this item is for City Council to consider adopting a resolution submitting two modifications of the Midtown Urban Renewal Plan (the “Midtown Plan”) to the Planning and Zoning Board (the “P&Z Board”) to review at a future meeting to determine whether these modifications are in conformity with City Plan.
