The study will be conducted by Hyden Partners ($115,000 for market feasibility) and RSP Architects ($50,000 for design) for the 28-acre southern area adjacent to the amphitheater.

    • Councilmembers raised concerns: (1) The requirement for neighbor permission when building up to the property line (not on it) seemed unclear—staff clarified it applies only if the fence is physically on the line or connects to neighbor's fence. (2) The proposed appeal period of 10 days was considered too short for residential fences; consensus was 15 days. (3) Language requiring a permit for any
