What's on this agenda

The Durham City Council holds two rezoning hearings. One would move the Ellis Road PDR Rezoning II tract from Commercial General with a Development Plan into a Planned Development Residential 18.220 district. The other would take the U Tower site out of Office and Institutional with a Development Plan and into a plain Office and Institutional district. Both require a Consistency and Reasonableness Statement under state law.

On the consent agenda, the council considers a $1,139,721 contract with Schnabel Engineering South for Little River Dam embankment settlement and seepage repairs, with spending authority up to $1,253,721 including contingency and amendments. Members also take up a resolution declaring support for reproductive freedoms and the appointment of a new finance officer. Separately, an interlocal agreement would have GoTriangle reimburse the city for adjusting a 36-inch transmission waterline under Gregson Street.
