If the presiding officer determines that the number of items pulled from the Consent Calendar by citizens is substantial and may impair the Council’s ability to complete the planned agenda, the presiding officer may declare that the following process will be used to simplify consideration of the Citizen-Pulled Consent Items: (1) All citizen-pulled items (to be listed by number) will be considered as a group under the heading “Consideration of Citizen-Pulled Consent Items.” (2) At that time, each citizen wishing to speak will be given a single chance to speak about any and all of the items that have been moved to that part of the agenda. (3) After the citizen comments, any Councilmember may specify items from the list of Citizen-Pulled Consent Items for Council to discuss and vote on individually. Excluding those specified items, Council will then adopt all “Citizen-Pulled Consent Items” as a block, by a single motion, second and vote. (4) Any Citizen-Pulled Consent Items that a Councilmember has asked to be considered individually will then be considered using the regular process for considering discussion items. 1.

(staff: Cameron Gloss, Tom Leeson; no staff presentation; 90 min discussion) The City Manager is recommending, with support from the Mayor and Mayor Pro Tem, that the Public Hearing regarding Rezoning of the Hughes Stadium site be postponed until March 31.

The site is currently zoned Transition (T) and staff recommends placement into the Residential Foothills (RF) and Low-Density Mixed-Use Neighborhood (LMN) zone districts.
