At a workshop session on Aug. 19 the City Council discussed development standards for a proposed development located outside the city limits and provided staff with policy direction on how the project could fit within the city.
The meeting record states the council discussed "development standards for a new development on the outside of the city limits and how it can fit within our city and gave staff direction on policy decisions." The transcript excerpt does not list specific standard changes, ordinances, or formal votes; the item was treated as workshop discussion and direction to staff rather than a final regulatory action.
The record does not identify the developer, the project's precise location, whether the council's guidance requires interlocal agreements with neighboring jurisdictions, or whether any changes would require council ordinance or state approvals. Those details were not included in the provided transcript excerpt.
Staff and council members may return with proposed ordinance language, design standards or implementation steps at a subsequent meeting; the transcript directs readers to the city website for the full meeting recording and materials.
