   400 North Corridor Plan and Town Center 1 height minimums

   Discussed

   Council Member Amy Anderson asked the council to revisit the 400 North corridor plan for the Adams Neighborhood, citing vehicle speeds, and the 12-foot minimum height in Town Center 1 that may limit density. Mark Anderson supported the plan and suggested student housing on the corridor, while the mayor said Adams input asked that it stay single-family residential. Chair Simmonds said action plans need funding. The council agreed to workshops on both early next year. No vote.
