Bronwyn's Council Preview

The Ames City Council meets at 6:00 p.m. at City Hall.   The agenda includes the following. Note that you can generally click on individual agenda items below to get the full staff report or other explanation.

• 1. Presentation on Infill Development. (See staff presentation)
  The recently completed Ames Plan 2040 references infill development (as opposed to greenfield development, where a city annexes new property on the edge of town), and the purpose of this workshop is to define and discuss topics related to infill. There are many ways to facilitate infill, such as allowing for accessory dwelling units on existing properties, allowing duplexes in lower density areas, or even identifying areas that could be candidates for larger scale redevelopment and intensification. This workshop will examine both topics, Council will give input on what concepts to pursue, and those will be brought back to Council later in the spring.

Communications to Council: The following items are requests and communications to Council that aren't published on the agenda, so we won't deliberate them substantially.  This includes staff reports and communications or requests from constituents and developers. Typically, Council will ask city staff for more information, put the item on a future agenda for deliberation and possible action, or just accept the communication, taking no further action.
