AGENDA ITEMS Mayor Grant recommended the 2015 Proposed Budget and Tax Levy be discussed as Item G. Councilmember Holden suggested the Recycling RFP as Item B. A. TCAAP Zoning Community Development Director Hutmacher stated that at the November 3, 2014, City Council work session, the Council discussed its vision for the Hill and Creek neighborhoods. Specifically, the Council supported single-family housing with varying lot sizes on the Hill and Creek neighborhoods with lot sizes increasing and density decreasing as development moved away from the Town Center and water resources corridor. A limited amount of townhomes may be acceptable in the Hill neighborhood in locations close to the water resources corridor or along the eastern perimeter of the site. The City Council directed staff to revise the draft TCAAP zoning to reflect the Council's vision. Community Development Director Hutmacher reported that two options have been drafted for City Council consideration. In both options, new definitions have been created. Also, new districts have been added to the Regulating Map with corresponding changes to the proposed land use table.
