The City Council held a study session to review updates to zoning and subdivision code ordinances. Discussions centered on the consolidation of residential zoning districts, establishing a civic public district, and addressing non-conforming lot issues to assist with property financing and development. Additionally, the session covered the potential impact of state-level housing legislation and the regulatory considerations for permitting accessory dwelling units, supported by findings from recent community surveys.
The study session covered comprehensive updates on convention tourism and Main Street initiatives. The tourism presentation included a review of 2025 marketing and branding efforts, such as website redevelopment, digital campaigns, and video production. The discussion also addressed the focus for 2026, which centers on group markets, storytelling, and enhancing volunteer programs, while acknowledging challenges regarding hotel capacity and the potential interest in a larger convention facility. Additionally, the Main Street update highlighted business growth in the district, the upcoming launch of the Retail Collective retail incubator, the status of co-working spaces, and the exploration of establishing social districts within the city.
