The meeting began with a closed session discussion that was deferred, followed by a presentation on zoning code updates. Later, the regular city council meeting included swearing-in of new firefighters, recognition of outgoing and incoming Miss Draper royalty, a bike month proclamation, a consent calendar, and a public hearing for a restaurant license. The main focus was the presentation and discussion of the tentative budget for fiscal year 2026-2027, which includes a proposed property tax rate increase of 25%.
We're ready to go. All right. We were the first thing we had teed up with the closed session meeting. But we're going to forego that for a minute, right? Are we waiting? We're main issue. The other two items are fairly long. They're still like three. We're kind of in. Well, then maybe we should eat for a minute. How long is far as you have? Well, we could probably pause and let all of one. Yeah, you said what you said is waited to like 540. So it's almost there. It could be. Yeah. Are you all right if we wait for Mr. Barrett sort of starting into the long one and coming back? Are the the other two? Long, long issue. Is everybody good with that? Sure. Then we will uncall the meeting before we're Todd's not. You can uncall some rewrite. So Jen, you're outline. Yeah, so I'm actually have Todd Taylor present this one. But I'll I'll start by saying some of you have been involved with this, Catherine. You haven't. The city has been working with the consultant household of being for the last couple years to do a code rewrite. We have had a couple joint sessions with planning commission to kind of just go over our code, that kind of thing. We are now in the uh deep end with rewriting the code. Um so we're gonna present some changes tonight, but bring it back for you. I think at the next meeting is what we talked about, um, to have a more in-depth discussion on a couple items. Um, and then you'll see additional sections brought to you. We're kind of broken the code up into kind of three or four areas where we can then work and digest. Um we did take this to Planning Commission last week for uh discussion, had a great discussion with them on some of the proposed uh zoning districts. Like I said, we're gonna kind of give more of an overview today, and then um specific uh zones come back to have a more robust discussion. But Todd's gonna go over the changes that we're gonna talk about today. Thanks. So Jen and you can have working on this for a while. Uh project initiation, some community engagement. We had some joint sessions with planning commission and city council. So currently we're sort of in the middle there with the district of use standards. Uh and then we still have some chapters to come. Uh so the first chapter that uh we got and we're presenting is chapter two, which is the basic overlay districts. Uh so we took what was done previously, which was a preliminary recommendations report, where we looked at our code and whereas we can prove. And so in these districts, we're looking at uh screenlining some zones and residential three zones have been consolidated. There's one new zone and commercial zones, 13 zones have been reduced to six for public facility. We were used or we consolidated two of the zones into one. Uh but overall, most of the zones have been carried forward and just uh reorganized.
