Hottest item of the night?  In my opinion, it’s not during the night but earlier in the day during their regular work session — see this:

“A discussion regarding a proposal to amend the zoning title to prohibit the conversion of one-family structures to multiple units in areas that permit multiple-family structures non-conversion ordinance”

What in the?!

If the quote is shortened to “a proposal to amend the zoning title to prohibit the conversion of one-family structures to multiple units in areas that permit multiple-family structures” — is that still true?

I don’t know but I will find out!

P.S. As always, email the Provo City Council your thoughts!

P.P.S. for new people, the location is 351 W. Center St. Provo!

GOOD NEWS — UPDATE – 2/16/2007:  (we missed a very important item on the Study Meeting yesterday!)

They discussed and approved a motion to reconsider the North Joaquin Parking Permit program!  This is HUGE!  Not only do they want to consider postponing the start date from Sept 1st. 2011 to Aug. 2012 — they want to replace it with something fair!!!  Awesome! :)

What does this mean?  Contact your city council members now to give them your input — they will have a Public Hearing on it on March 1st (the next council meeting)!
