Council approves first reading to amend development agreement for tech center to broaden conditional uses

The council conducted a public hearing and approved on first reading Ordinance 2025-01, an amendment to a development agreement with Ganesha Group LLP that restores certain conditional uses for a property known as the tech center (formerly Grass Valley Group development). Staff explained the amendment allows underlying light-industrial conditional accessory uses — such as restaurants, event centers or other uses subject to a conditional use permit — while preserving the conditional permit process and city review.
