Summary

The council approved grouped rezones and development agreements (Antler View West, Creighton Prep tennis, MCC overlays, 3002 Dodge redevelopment) and two TIF items for workforce housing and a North 24th Street intergenerational center; votes were unanimous for these agenda items.

The council handled a large block of planning and redevelopment items with planning board recommendations and generally unanimous votes.

Items 9–14 (Antler View West): Planning and the planning board recommended rezoning from AG to multiple districts and approval of a mixed‑use development agreement and final plat; applicant Andrew Koster represented the civil engineering team and the council approved the grouped items (7–0).

Item 15: An ordinance to rezone property at 7400 Western Avenue for six new tennis courts at Creighton Prep was presented by Joe Zadina and approved 7–0.

Items 16–19: Two MCC Overlay boundary amendments and combined rezoning items for 3002 Dodge Street (to TOD zoning and rescind overlay) were presented; applicants and city planners described expected uses (music venue, café, theatre/gathering space) and the council approved these items (7–0).

Item 23 (Workforce Housing Round 4): City Planning’s Don Seaton described a Holy Name Housing project to convert eight vacant lots into roughly 10 new single‑family homes for households earning 80–120% AMI with total TIF support of $406,000; Laysha Goodwin of Holy Name said the homes will be listed at approximately $245,000. The council approved the TIF assistance (roll call recorded in transcript).

Item 24 (Mariah Intergenerational Center): Don Seaton presented a redevelopment plan for a three‑story mixed‑use community facility at North 24th Street. Pastor Ralph Lasseter described site remediation work already completed and a projected construction start in June 2026; council approved the TIF support ($1,182,400) and recommended the project return with redevelopment agreements as needed.

Next steps: Redevelopment agreements for larger projects and implementation steps for TIF‑backed housing and community facility projects will return to council for execution and oversight.
