Key procurement-related topics included amendments to the city zoning code for the Renaissance and Florence Park neighborhoods, focusing on neighborhood character overlays to regulate new construction and preserve neighborhood aesthetics. The committee also discussed the need for clear, objective standards for development permits, particularly regarding garage placement and roof pitch, to prevent incompatible infill development.
