Page 2 of 3 <br /> <br />Civic Property <br /> <br />Concern about the control of the future use of the Civic property was raised at the November 21 <br />Work Session. Staff has discussed with the City Attorney the City’s options if a civic use could <br />not be identified and a rezoning was requested to another use. Since the uses allowed in the <br />Civic zone are not normally revenue generating, recent court decisions would support a rezoning <br />to another zone that has economic opportunities. If the City Council is concerned about the <br />future land uses of the Civic property, two of the available opportunities existing for some surety <br />of its ultimate use include: <br />1. The City’s acquisition of the property. <br />2. An agreement with the developer including at least: <br />a. A minimum timeframe in which a civic use will be pursued. <br />b. The opportunity for the City to acquire the property after that timeframe has <br />expired. <br />c. The general use of the property if the City chooses not to acquire the property. <br /> <br />There may be additional options available. Staff requests direction from the City Council on the <br />surety that is needed about the ultimate use of the Civic property. <br /> <br />Town Center Zoning <br /> <br />Based on the conversations during October 31 Work Session, staff has prepared revisions to the <br />Town Center district.
