Gentle readers, it's #a2Council night in Ann Arbor. Here's the agenda.
The evening kicks off with a substantial, 24-item consent agenda. The first 4 items are street closures. CA-1 is for the Glacier Area Memorial Day Parade. CA-2 is for the Dexter-Ann Arbor Run. CA-3 is for Sonic Lunch. CA-4 is for Top of the Park. Elsewhere in the consent agenda, with CA-24, the city is selling air rights over 616 S Forest for no less than $1.2 million. Nice.
There are three public hearings on the docket this evening. PH-1/B-1 is for the second reading of a ordinance that will make some minor changes to the rules around non-conforming structures in the UDC. These changes make it so that non-conforming structures don't have to go back before the Zoning Board of Appeals for renovations that don't increase the non-conformity. PH-2/B-2 is the second reading of some minor changes to the Fire Prevention Ordinance. PH-3/B-3 is the second reading of the sustainable energy utility.
There is one ordinance reading on the agenda this evening. C-1 is an ordinance to amend the city's Gas Franchise rules.
On to the resolutions. DC-1 is a resolution to authorize the city administrator to negotiate city participation in the south arbor project. DC-2 is a resolution to approve amendments to city council rules. DC-3 is a resolution to align city operations with Vision Zero and 2030 VMT reduction targets. DC-4 is a resolution to return $2.0 million to the general fund from the Rainy Day fund. DC-5 is a resolution regarding low-rise residential in the comprehensive plan update. As written, it would direct Planning Commission to limit low-rise residential in the new Comprehensive Plan to be limited to 35 ft. This feels like something overly specific for the Comprehensive Plan.
