The Planning Commission, after hearing from the public and deliberating, voted to approve <br />Resolution 24-01 on March 5, 2024, recommending the City Council approve the PDO contained <br />in this Ordinance while recognizing that that the capital facilities and utilities element of the <br />forthcoming comprehensive plan update must recognize and address the offsite infrastructure <br />demands, such as those at Wiggums Hollow Park and sidewalk improvements on 15th, that are <br />generated by this project. <br />P. On July 10, 2024, the City Council held a public hearing, after proper notice, and considered <br />public comment and the entire record related to the PDO contained in this Ordinance. <br />Q.
