Baleno Land Development: Council approved a change of zone and related preliminary approvals for a project generally located at the northeast corner of 70th Street and Cedardale Road. Patrick Sullivan, attorney for the developer, described phase one as an apartment project and noted an overall larger development with commercial parcels planned to the west.

Several council members asked planning staff during the meeting to confirm buffering, traffic studies and design standards would be applied during plan review. No additional city budget appropriations were recorded for these items at the meeting.
