Tempe City Council - June 4, 2026

The Tempe City Council held a meeting on June 4, 2026, which included multiple public hearings and discussions primarily focused on urban development and zoning matters. A significant portion of the meeting was dedicated to the proposed Marshall on Spence mixed-use development project, involving a zoning map amendment and planned area development overlay to allow a seven-story building with 105 dwelling units. The council and public debated issues such as building height, traffic impact, parking, and neighborhood compatibility. After extensive discussion and public input, the council voted to continue the project for six months to allow new council members to review and provide input. Other procurement-related items included approval of security services contracts and various ordinances related to city code amendments and easement abandonments. The council also approved a resolution for the Legend City District mixed-use development and held first hearings on amendments to parking requirements and building codes. No final contract awards were made during this meeting, but several items were advanced for future consideration.
