The City <br />Council will be asked to make a formal decision regarding the application under Agenda <br />Item 9B. <br /> <br />Background <br /> <br />At their April 18th work session, the City Council discussed possible topics that could be <br />considered for holding a Joint Meeting with the Planning Commission. Reviewing potential topics <br />in advance would allow planning staff an opportunity to research content and flexibility for <br />scheduling the joint meeting at a later date based on planning case submissions. From this <br />discussion, the Council decided that fences, drive-thru commercial districts and home occupation <br />deliveries would be worked on by staff. Topics for a future joint meeting would be signage and <br />infill items. <br />
