In addition, the council will consider adoption of an ordinance calling for the rezoning of two parcels totaling 12.1 acres from the Agriculture District to the Light Industrial District. The property is located at 6651 and 6705 E. Gila Ridge Road.

In other action, staff will introduce an ordinance authorizing the acquisition of three 50-square-foot parcels of right-of-way “by gift, exchange, purchase, easement or eminent domain for improvements to the public roadway, utility infrastructure and other related public purposes” located at the intersections of 14th Street and 3rd Avenue and 13th Street and 3rd Avenue.
