What happened
The council approved consent calendar items including a payment schedule for the dissolved redevelopment agency's remaining debts.
The council approved zoning changes for the Northshore area to preserve open space and agriculture. The new rules will only allow parks, farms, and public buildings instead of housing or commercial development.
A citizen petition to change Richmond Hills zoning rules moved forward after the council approved considering options for the proposal. Residents submitted a petition with enough signatures to force a vote on new zoning restrictions for the area.
The council approved creating a new fee on private developers to fund public art. The law would charge developers on new construction projects to pay into a city fund for art installations.
The council received an annual report on greenhouse gas and community programs funded by an environmental agreement. Discussion of the sewer district annual report was continued to a future meeting.
