City Council — 2026-05-13
A proposed event center in the rear of an existing building near High Street cleared Planning Commission with conditions: 240-person cap, weekend-only hours, no guest parking on residential streets, and a security plan trigger after three police incidents in a year. Council will vote on it later.

877 NW Washington Blvd – Non-Conforming / Irregular Lot Split
Vacant retail space gets a path to occupancy; parking (75 spaces on the new lot, 221 on the remainder) exceeds requirements, and the city's building department will vet firewall and permit details.
Event Center at 150 South Fair Avenue
Would bring weekend events with up to 240 guests to a building near High Street, with staffing and security conditions to protect the surrounding neighborhood.
