Zoning and hearings: Council set a public hearing for April 13 on Resolution 878626 (conditional-use approval for an event venue at 2084 Valley Dale Road) and read several zoning ordinance amendments for first reading (including a revised zoning map and rezoning items for properties on Monte Dioro Drive, Shelterwood Circle and Pinehurst Drive).
