5.25 acres of Greenwood Drive (File 26-0186)

Context: Barrera specifically asked to pull Item 10 in order to abstain, rather than simply casting a no vote, per the February 17 minutes.

Recommended: Pull the city clerk's record to verify Council Member Barrera filed the required conflicts-of-interest affidavit before pulling the item solely to abstain — if none is on file, the resolution's validity is exposed to a later challenge.

Context: Item 18 (this resolution) was withdrawn February 10, then the identical measure passed 7-1 as Item 10 on February 17.

Recommended: Obtain the certified February 17 resolution now for your state housing tax credit application file, and confirm its certified date accounts for the week lost when council withdrew the same item on February 10 before readopting it.

Context: Item 18 was withdrawn February 10; the same resolution returned as Item 10 on February 17 and passed 7-1 with Hernandez opposed and Barrera abstaining by request.

Recommended: File a records request for the staff memo behind the February 10 withdrawal of this resolution — it came back a week later and passed 7-1 with one member abstaining specifically to avoid a recorded vote, worth asking both Barrera and staff about directly.

Context: The February 17 action was a council resolution supporting a tax credit application for the 5.25-acre site, not a site plan or rezoning approval.

Recommended: This vote only backs the developer's tax credit application — it doesn't approve the building itself, so watch for a separate site plan or zoning hearing where density, parking, and traffic on Greenwood Drive get decided.
