PUBLIC HEARING NOTICE: ENTERTAINMENT DISTRICT URBAN RENEWAL PLAN

During the 7 p.m. regular City Council meeting, Lone Tree City Council will conduct a public hearing to consider the approval of an urban renewal plan pursuant to the provisions of the Colorado Urban Renewal Law.

The purpose of the proposed Urban Renewal Plan is to eliminate and prevent the spread of deteriorating conditions in the subject area while implementing the goals and objectives of the Lone Tree Comprehensive Plan. The principal goals of the Urban Renewal Plan are to facilitate redevelopment in order to eliminate or prevent the spread of blighted or slum areas, attract private investment, utilize underdeveloped land, and leverage public investment and funding mechanisms to provide necessary public infrastructure to serve the subject area. The scope of the urban renewal plan and project is to provide opportunities for private redevelopment of underutilized properties in the Urban Renewal Area.

MEETING INFORMATION

At 4:00 pm the Council will hold a Study Session where the Council receives presentations from staff or invited guests on various topics. Study Sessions are meant to be a more informal setting where the Council can learn and discuss community topics or proposals by staff before they are brought to a formal Council Meeting for action. Study Session items may also be solely informative. The Council never takes formal action or votes during Study Sessions. The public is welcome to attend Study Sessions, however, there is no public comment.

At 6:00 pm the Council may hold an Executive Session. These are meetings where only the City Council, the City Attorney, and select City Staff attend. Colorado open meeting laws restrict what topics the City Council may hold an executive session to discuss. The City Attorney will announce the reason for the Executive Session to the public at the end of the Study Session.

At 7:00 pm is the start of the Council’s Regular Session. This is the meeting where Council votes on formal actions and hears public comment. Comments from the public are welcome at three different occasions during the course of the meeting:

1. Brief comments on items not scheduled on the Agenda will be heard under the Public Comment agenda item at the beginning of the meeting for a maximum of 30 minutes
2. Pertinent comments on all scheduled public hearing items will be heard following the presentation by staff and only after the Mayor opens the floor to public comment for that particular agenda item.
