9:30 p.m. - 10:00 p.m. Update to Town Council Priorities
Body
BACKGROUND SUMMARY:
The Vienna Town Council approved four priorities that the Council would focus on in the 2024 calendar year. The tree ordinance has been approved. There are three remaining priorities, which are listed below:
1) Park Master Plan: Gather information and input about the Town’s parks, make a decision about the short-term use of the Annex site on Center Street across from Waters Field, and research costs involved with possible long-term options for use.
2) Diversity in Housing Options: Explore options for increasing the variety of housing options in Town.
3) Zoning Ordinance: Select and consider possible changes to the Town’s Zoning Ordinance that were not included in the update adopted in 2023, and track developments made in response to the new code.
OVERVIEW:
Town Council desires to select a fourth priority to replace the one that was accomplished. Three Council Members have shared their ideas for a fourth priority, which are listed below:
1) Improved communication and engagement with residents
2) Park, sidewalk and road maintenance
3) 444 Maple Ave and other commercial development locations
SUMMARY/STAFF IMPRESSIONS:
Town Council will discuss having a fourth priority in this work session.
RECOMMENDATION:
Recommended Action
Town Council could decide to focus on the remaining three priorities or add a fourth.
