What's on this agenda

The council opens a public hearing on Duke Energy Progress's request to rezone about 14 acres at 940 Morrisville Carpenter Road from Low Density Residential to Conditional-Low Density Residential, to allow a major utility facility on the site. The Planning and Zoning Board recommended approval 4-1 in December; the council's own vote is scheduled for January 24, not this meeting. Also on the agenda: a public hearing, with a possible same-night vote, on text amendments to the town's floodplain management ordinance, recommended 5-0 by the planning board to match the state's model flood damage prevention rules.

Elsewhere, the council considers a resolution backing a state grant application, with a 10 percent local match, to study a paved trail and sidewalk route for the planned Stirrup Iron Creek Greenway. The agenda also carries a quarterly capital projects update and two proclamations, for the Year of the Trail and National Mentoring Month.
