What's on this agenda

Garner's town council takes up two land-use cases at this meeting: a quasi-judicial hearing on a special use permit for a warehouse and freight-movement use on a 36-acre Light Industrial tract at 500 N Greenfield Parkway, and a conditional rezoning of roughly 2.4 acres on Lawndale from residential to a denser conditional residential district. A seven-item consent agenda includes a corrected rezoning ordinance for the Rock Quarry Assemblage case, adoption of the town's 2026 state legislative agenda, a new Deputy Fire Chief position, and the town's opt-in to a national opioid settlement with six regional distributors.

Council also hears an introduction of a new Housing & Community Development staff member and reviews criteria for using a design-build contracting method on the Meadowbrook Park Pond Area Trail project. The meeting closes with a closed session to discuss pending litigation or claim settlement and the terms of an employment contract.
