Discuss TCAAP Zoning Community Development Director Hutmacher stated that the City Council has had several discussions regarding density and the maximum number of residential units on the TCAAP site. If the City Council would like to establish a maximum number of residential units, it would be helpful to do so at the October 27 or November 3 work session.
