What's on this agenda

Garner's Town Council previews two development cases: a rezoning of 7.07 acres on Fayetteville Road to Commercial Mixed Use-Conditional for the Bennett Commercial project (CZ-26-004), and a revised proposal to rezone 14.02 acres at Auburn-Knightdale Road and US 70 East to Commercial Mixed Use-Conditional for an apartment development (CZ-MP-25-006). The council also considers whether to send a package of Police, Fire, and code-revision ordinance amendments, covering fire prevention, motor vehicles, offenses, police, and weapons chapters, to a public hearing at the August 18 meeting, and hears a staff proposal for next steps on the town's affordable housing and housing preservation programs, funded in part by a Municipal Impact Fund award.

The council closes the meeting to instruct staff on a potential property acquisition.
