Attorney

Obtain signed rezoning ordinance and proof of required publication

Why now: Both readings of the ordinance for 301 Indiana Avenue (Zoning Case No. ZN9250) expressly provide "for a penalty not to exceed $2,000 and publication," and second reading occurred July 28, 2026, on the consent agenda.

What to do: Request the certified, signed ordinance and the city secretary's record of publication from the city secretary, since the caption itself recites that the ordinance provides for publication and a penalty of up to $2,000 for violations. Ask in writing whether publication has occurred and what the ordinance's effective date is — that answer governs when the new district standards can be relied on for permitting or enforcement.

Act before: After the certified ordinance and publication record are produced

Developer

Confirm neighborhood commercial uses now allowed on Indiana Avenue lots

Why now: The ordinance rezoning 301 and 305 Indiana Avenue and 2767 and 2771 Santa Fe Street from “ON” to “CN-1” (Zoning Case No. ZN9250, File 26-0932) passed second reading on the consent agenda July 28, 2026, with staff and the Planning Commission recommending approval and no conditions recited.

What to do: All four parcels at the Indiana Avenue and Santa Fe Street corner moved from the office-only Neighborhood Office District to the Neighborhood Commercial 1 District with no conditions, deed restrictions, or use limitations stated in the adopted caption — pull the Neighborhood Commercial 1 use table, setback, and parking standards and confirm which retail and service uses are now permitted across the assembled site. If you design to the old office district limits, you will leave permitted floor area and use flexibility on the table.

Act before: After the next material record update

Request missing vote tally for Indiana Avenue rezoning readings

Why now: Item 12 minutes note the caption "appears at the end of page 5; no disposition printed within these pages," and the July 21, 2026 record names Council Member Campos as mover and Council Member Scott as seconder with resident Yvette Richards as the only speaker, yet lists no tally.

What to do: The first-reading minutes state the ordinance "was passed on first reading and approved with the following vote" but no vote list follows, and the minutes page for this item shows the caption with no disposition printed. Ask the city secretary for the certified vote record for both readings and for the written comments of the sole public hearing speaker, to establish whether the approval was unanimous and whether the lone speaker supported or opposed it.

Resident

Ask what shops or hours Indiana Avenue rezoning now permits

Why now: Interim Director of Development Services Yvette Wallace presented the case and the public hearing drew a single speaker before Council passed the rezoning of 301 and 305 Indiana Avenue and 2767 and 2771 Santa Fe Street on July 21 and again July 28, 2026.

What to do: Your block shifted from a district that allowed only neighborhood offices to one that allows neighborhood commercial businesses, which can bring customer traffic, deliveries, signage, and evening operating hours to the Indiana Avenue and Santa Fe Street corner. Contact Development Services for the Neighborhood Commercial 1 permitted-use list and any buffering or hours limits that apply next to homes, and ask to be notified when a site development permit is filed — the rezoning vote is done, so permit review is now the only remaining point of input.

Act before: After a site development permit application is filed
