PARRISH LANE GATEWAY NEIGHBORHOOD DEVELOPMENT PLAN AMENDMENT

Randy Feil, RDA Attorney, provided the Council with a written statement that was read at the meeting prior to the public hearing, outlining the proposed amendment and all of the noticing procedures that were followed for the public hearing scheduled later in the meeting. The purpose of the public hearing is to 1) allow public comment on the draft amendment to the Parrish Lane Gateway Neighborhood Development Plan for the Parrish Lane Gateway Neighborhood Development Project Area; 2) allow public comment on whether the draft Amendment to the Plan should be revised, adopted or rejected; and 3) receive all written objections and hear all oral objections to the draft Amendment to the Plan. The notices of public hearing, along with their related certificates of mailing, proofs of publication, etc. were made available at the RDA meeting and are attached to these minutes.

Steve Thacker, City Manager, explained that the key reason for the amendment is to allow the RDA, if desired, to be able to issue bonds for the construction of the South Davis Performing Arts Center. Mr. Feil and staff responded to questions and comments from the RDA Board.

 

a. Public Hearing concerning the proposed “Amendment to Parrish Lane Gateway” Neighborhood Development Plan

Mr. Feil and Mr. Thacker added that at the time of commencement of the public hearing, the Redevelopment Agency has not received from any record owner of land in the project area, taxing entity or interested party any written or oral objections to the adoption of draft Amendment to Parrish Lane Gateway Neighborhood Development Plan dated February 1, 2008. It was noted that because no previous objections have been received, it will only be necessary to consider any written objections, or oral objections, to the adoption of the draft Amendment to Plan which may be made or submitted at this meeting.

At 8:45 p.m. Vice Chair Averett opened the public hearing.  No one present at the meeting wished to comment.
