In addition to numerous housekeeping matters for the Council to consider, they will also be presented with a Unified Development Ordinance for a one-year review discussion.

When the City Council adopted the UDO mandatory reviews were required at six months and a year following the effective date of the ordinance

A few changes have been suggested by the Planning and Zoning Commission, One unresolved matter is the signage for the Virginia Street Corridor, whether monument signs or pole signs would be required.
