In a recent government meeting, officials convened to discuss two significant items on the agenda: a special use permit application for a cell tower and a shoreline substantial development permit for the Riverfront Apartments project. The meeting was conducted remotely by one official due to transportation issues, but they confirmed their familiarity with the projects through a prior site visit.

The first item addressed was a special use permit application from Sage Hill for a cell tower operated on behalf of Verizon. Staff member Mr. Hendrix presented the staff report, outlining the key issues and recommendations for the proposal. Following this, the applicant team was invited to present their case, emphasizing their compliance with city codes.

The second item was a continuation of a public hearing regarding the Riverfront Apartments project, which had been postponed from an earlier meeting. The hearing examiner reiterated the importance of public participation, encouraging community members to voice their opinions on both applications. Each speaker was required to sign in and would provide testimony under oath.

The hearing examiner also reminded attendees that a written decision would be issued after the hearings, and those interested could receive a copy by ensuring their email addresses were on file. The meeting underscored the city's commitment to transparency and public involvement in local development decisions.
