What's on this agenda

Four rezoning-related cases move through Council: a public hearing on 2.4 acres at Lawndale Street for a residential conditional rezoning, a satellite annexation petition for 8401 Old Stage Road, and two more advanced rezoning votes -- 8401 Old Stage Road itself (0.74 acres to Residential-4) and a Quality Oil project at Benson Road/Evolve Drive (5.76 acres for a fueling station, convenience store, and office/retail building). The 83-acre Rock Quarry Assemblage case, converting rural agricultural land to commercial mixed use, also returns to Council.

Consent items include a budget amendment adding three police positions (one officer, two non-sworn public safety aides) and a resolution to dispose of two surplus vehicles. Council also recognizes MLK Dream in Action Award recipients -- including Springfield Baptist Church -- and proclaims Engineers Week.
