Ann Arbor City Council Preview: September 3, 2024


 Gentle readers, tonight is a special Tuesday edition of #a2Council. Here's the agenda

The evening kicks off with a respectable, 20-item consent agenda. CA-1 is a street closure for the UM Show Your Love A2 Party on Sunday, September 15. CA-2 is a street closure for the Ann Arbor Marathon on Sunday, October 13. 

There are 2 public hearings on the docket this evening. PH-1/B-1 is on changes to the planning commission ordinance to replace gendered language and also to change "Master Plan" to "Comprehensive Plan. PH-2/B-2 is the second reading of the Washtenaw/E Stadium TC-1 District. Very exciting to see this moving forward. 

There are 3 ordinance first readings tonight. C-1 is some pretty minor changes clarifying the text of the Leaf Blower Ordinance. C-2 is on some modifications to the TC-1 zoning rules. They seem pretty minor, but I'm not sure that I love them. Curious to hear what others think. C-3 is some minor changes to the zoning ordinance to include things like allowing elevators and stairwells to exceed hight limits by 12 feet in mixed use zones.  

On to the resolutions. DC-1 is a resolution to allow more in-home occupations in residential zones. Nice. DC-2 is a resolution to appoint Kimberly Buselmeier as the City of Ann Arbor Interim Controller and Chief Financial Officer. DB-1 is a resolution to accept the new city flag design. DB-2 a resolution to relocate Precinct 2-14 from Palmer Commons, 100 Washtenaw Avenue, to Angell Elementary School, 1608 S. University Avenue, starting with the November 5, 2024 General Election. 




That's it, gentle reader. What items are you most excited for? Hopefully we will see you there. The CTN stream starts at 7 pm. Make sure you follow the action on the #a2Council hashtag or on a2mi.social.
