• Description: Approval would remove the "indoor only" restriction from "farm equipment and supply" uses in the PD-9 overlay zone.
• Fiscal Impact: The proposed project will have a positive fiscal impact on the City by increasing sales tax revenues. The store will also serve as an anchor for the Dove Creek Shopping Center and is expected to attract additional retail stores in the future.
• Recommendation: Council adopt on second reading, by title only, Draft Ordinance A amending the zoning code text for Planned Development #12 (Zone Change 2008-0151) to allow outdoor sales for farm equipment and supply establishments based on findings. [Community Development]

• Fiscal Impact: Based on findings from the Taussig Study, revenue from new residential development including property tax revenues; vehicle licensing fees, sales taxes, and other revenues are insufficient to cover the maintenance and emergency services costs of new development. Based on the revenue projections from the Taussig Study, the City has developed standard conditions of approval for new development projects that require the cost of maintenance and emergency services to be funded by the project through a combination of road assessment districts, landscape and lighting districts, and community facilities districts (Conditions CUP 19 and 20/ TTM 12 and 13). Inclusion of these conditions of approval will mitigate any negative fiscal impact on the City. At the March 24, 2009 hearing, the Council voted to amend the conditions of approval to require the developer to maintain the freeway frontage landscaping for a period of two years, rather than in perpetuity. Maintenance will then be taken over by the City. There will be additional cost to the City to maintain the freeway frontage landscaping after the initial two year period.
• Recommendation: Council adopt on second reading, by title only, the Draft Ordinance approving Zone Code Text Change 2009-0152 (PLN 2099-0997) amending the PD-23 Overlay District Text consistent with the revised project design based on findings. [Community Development]

• Fiscal Impact: Receipt and expenditure of $46,100.00 in federal criminal justice grants funds.
• Recommendation: Council approve the Police Department submission of an application to the U. S. Department of Justice for federal criminal justice funding through the Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) with an award of $46,100.00. [Police]
