We continue to be challenged by all aspects of growth: Traffic congestion, adding more police officers, developing enough parks, encouraging more restaurants and other services to build here, getting new residents involved in the community. |
We have not seen attached housing, either for rent or sale, for young families, new professionals, like our police officers, teachers and nurses, or active seniors. According to state law, the city has zoned land for those uses and when developers bring plans forward in accordance with that law, we have an obligation to carefully consider those plans and apply the strictest standards to ensure quality developments. |
