Summary
The council approved the consent agenda and several contract awards unanimously. It vacated an earlier Development Review Commission decision on a withdrawn ADU application and approved multiple procurement and construction contracts; most motions passed 7–0.
The Tempe City Council voted unanimously on several actions during its March 5 meeting.
Vacate DRC decision (ADU appeal): Vice Mayor Garland moved, and Council Member Hodge seconded, a motion to vacate the Development Review Commission's decision to grant a use permit for a two-story accessory dwelling unit at 36 East Cairo Drive after the applicant revised plans and withdrew the use permit.
