# Ames City Council Pt.2 | September 22, 2026

The Ames City Council meeting held on September 22, 2026, primarily focused on land use and development issues, including a discussion on whether to allow subdivision of certain lots and the implications for public infrastructure and zoning control. The council voted to approve an option that limits subdivision to what is allowed under county rules, avoiding unintended consequences of increased development. Additionally, the council approved funding to proceed with a Lincolnway corridor safety study aimed at addressing pedestrian safety concerns following a fatal crash. Several ordinances related to rezoning and building and fire code revisions were adopted. The council also directed future agenda items related to property maintenance, rental code safety gaps, developer agreement clarifications, and flooding studies. No specific contract awards or procurement decisions were made, but the approval of funding for the corridor study represents a capital improvement project commitment.
