From the meeting
At its November 23, 2026 meeting, the city reviewed a zoning variance request for 1601 W Main Street to replace an existing 6-foot wood privacy fence in the same location with the same type and height. The request sought a front yard setback variance to place the fence on the property line on the east side of the property. The parcel is owned by Richard W Lucas Jr and is zoned A-2 Single- and Two-Family Residential.
Decision state: discussed as a variance request; no approval is recorded in the source.

Questions about this project
What is a pre-RFP?
A pre-RFP is an early indicator that a government agency is planning a purchase — a project discussed in a board meeting, a budget line item, a new hire, or a grant award — captured before a formal RFP or bid is published. Acting on pre-RFPs gives SLED and B2G vendors months of lead time to build relationships and shape requirements.

Pre-RFPs typically surface 6–18 months before a formal solicitation is published. Civic IQ tracks City of Ottawa's meeting records, agendas, and budgets continuously and updates this pre-RFP as the project moves through the buying cycle toward an RFP.
