On October 3, 2025, the Rules & City Government and Environmental Matters committees held a joint meeting from 1:04 PM to 3:17 PM to consider Ordinance O-14-25, implementing the Annapolis Ahead Comprehensive Plan 2040. The meeting focused on amendments to the zoning code regarding planned developments, green roofs, rooftop structures, and transit-oriented development.
The joint meeting adjourned at 3:17 PM, with the Rules committee scheduled to reconvene separately for other agenda items.
Are present from the rules committee and uh Alderman Savage, would you like to take role for the environmental matters committee? I can't hear you. You could approve your agenda first. Okay, I was doing a roll call first, as it says on my agenda. So would you please uh Alderman Savage take role for your committee? Uh I'm being told that we have to do it separately. Okay. All right. Then I have uh done roll call for the rules and city government committee, and I will entertain a motion to approve the agenda. So move for our committees. Second. Okay, all in favor, please say aye. Aye. Thank you. Alderman Savage. All right. Now I'm gonna call I call to order the October 3rd meeting for environmental matters and for the record. All the members are present. Or at least audio. Yeah, visual. That means I'm present. That's right. Is there a motion to approve the environmental matters agenda? So move. Second. All those in favor, please say aye. Aye. Can we make a special announcement that because there's people here that I think are here for the three o'clock rules committee? And I Jody is one of them. I don't want them to sit through this, which is 014 only when you're coming at the end of the agenda for the three o'clock meeting for the market house lease. So we don't want to abuse your time. Uh thank you, Alderman Arnett, uh, for making that announcement. And um you're absolutely correct. So anyone that's here strictly for rules and the agenda as it's been presented, uh, that meeting starts at three. So we will be uh addressing only 01425, uh the annual comprehensive plan for 2040 in this meeting at one o'clock. Uh Alderman Shannemeyer. Thank you, Madam Chair. Uh point of order question. So uh I doubt we'll be this efficient, but hypothetical, if we knock out 014 in 15 minutes, we'll be taking a break. Uh that got audible laughter from Alderman Savage. Uh will we be taking a break all the way until three o'clock for the formal rules and city government meeting, or would we just roll into that normally? Um just trying to do this out here. Well, I would I would yield to the city attorney, but I think because the rules and city government committee meeting has been announced publicly for three o'clock that we may have to stick to that schedule. Okay, thank you. They're also just pointing information. Uh we have to give the uh staff 20 minutes to make the technology transfer for broadcasting. There needs to be a 20-minute gap between meetings so the studio can make the transfer. Of course, yes. Thank you. Okay, so we're on to uh legislation, madam chair.
