These <br />proposals constitute the first round of forwarded recommendations. Additional recommendations will <br />be forwarded to the council in the spring of 2010. <br /> <br />The Planning Commission held well-attended public hearings on October 20, and deliberated on the <br />proposals on October 26. The Planning Commission recommended approval of all three ordinances, as <br />follows: <br />? <br /> <br />Building Height Alternate B, as presented; <br />? <br /> <br />Special Area Zone – Jefferson Westside, as presented; <br /> Z:\CMO\2009 Council Agendas\M091116\S0911161.doc <br /> <br />
