Hi everybody,
Below is the agenda for tomorrow night's city council meeting @ 7:00pm @
351 W. Center.
There are several very important items that will have city-wide effect.
Read below for the details.
Some of the neighborhoods affected are South Provost, Rock Canyon, and
Pleasant View. The I-15 item might interest you also.
NOTE: In my opinion, the most important item tomorrow night is the last
item -- from what i understand they're trying to remove the requirement
of petitioning the city council to allow accessory apartments.
This arose from the controversy in January when the council denied the
neighborhood even though 73% of the property owners asked for it:

This is a grave danger in my opinion -- if the citizens don't have the
requirement to circulate a petition to ask for accessory apartments then
what's to prevent the council from smacking down 1 person that pays the
fee and asks for it.
If they don't listen to 84 property owners (73% of the neighborhood) in
January, then why the heck would they listen to a solo person asking for
a rezone?!
Does that make sense to you? If not, then please come and speak out or
else call your city council members quickly sometime before 6:00pm
Tuesday at:

Of course the council of 7 controlling whether or not anyone can have an
accessory apartment is very questionable. By artificially limiting who
can have a basement apartment, they make housing less affordable --
families of all types suffer -- both parents, single parents, widows,
and singles.
Look for a constitutional challenge on that one soon enough. See
planning.org for details.
Anyway, read below for the meeting agenda. Thanks!
Roger
P.S. Hope you can come to the Q&A at the beginning -- it's usually
enlightening. :)

Make zoning in Provo fair!
Ask me how we can make the city not discriminate on marital and family status.
