Scheduled Council Hearings and Matters:
1:30PM) Presentation to Council regarding Business Friendly Task Force and selection of two (2) Councilmembers to serve on Task Force by Mayor’s Office
2:15PM) Language was placed in this federal law which states that local governments "may not deny, and shall approve, any eligible facilities request for a modification of an existing wireless tower or base station that does not substantially change the physical dimensions of such tower or base station". The City of Fresno Development and Resource Management Department is proposing a revised policy on Wireless Telecommunications Facilities that defines "substantially change."
5:00PM) A proposed planning code text amendment to allow interim use of currently vacant parcels to grow crops and ornamental plants which would ameliorate current nuisances associated with vacant properties while providing nutritional and economic benefit to the community. Opposition to the text amendment has been expressed by residents of West Fresno, who have concerns about potential environmental and economic impacts of farming in their area, and by community gardening advocates who do not want that use/activity to be subject to zoning classification or regulation until the 2035 General Plan and new Development Code are adopted.
