Item 79 Passed 9-0
In plain language — from the agenda backup
This is a public hearing on whether to terminate an old restrictive covenant tied to a 1981 zoning case on the property at 3900 W. Howard Lane, out in the Walnut Creek watershed. The owner, Otsuka ICU Medical, is asking to clear the covenant off the books, and both city staff and the Zoning and Platting Commission recommend granting the termination. Lifting these old land-use restrictions can change what's allowed to be built or done on the site down the road.
