What to Expect From Tonight's City Council Meeting

Scotts Valley Patch is dedicated to covering all the news you want to know about in our city. This includes the decisions and discussions that occur at City Hall.

Wednesday night the Scotts Valley City Council will meet at 6 p.m. in the Council Chambers, One Civic Center Drive.

On the Agenda:

• The council will consider deferring impact fees for the Holiday Inn Express project that was approved for Scotts Valley Drive. If approved, the fees would be deferred for five years then repaid over the next five years. The council will also consider applying for a Community Development Block Grant of approximately $1,200,000 through the State Housing and Community Development Department. The federal grant to the city would then be loaned to the developer.
• The council will discuss approving a minor land division of a parcel at 4654 Scotts Valley Drive. The site is currently zoned Commercial Service and is currently vacant. The applicant would like to subdivide the lot into two parcels, one an 18,500-square-foot area and the other a 17,000-square-foot area. A new 1,856-square-foot commercial building with a 5,500-square-foot equipment storage yard is proposed for one of the parcels.
• The council will discuss approving an implementing agreement with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service for the Sandhills Interim Programmatic Habitat Conservation Plan, which would allow property owners in the environmentally sensitive sandhills habitat to develop their property in compliance with the Federal Endangered Species Act.
