From the meeting
On October 13, 2026, staff briefed the commission on the Rice Gateway Project and the City Council-directed review of zoning, economic development, and land-use impacts. The commission discussed redevelopment feasibility, traffic, parking, and possible zoning changes for the PPD-TH2 area, but no ordinance change was proposed in this item. The main commercial value is the city's intent to refine the scope before the consultant study moves ahead.
It remains an open planning issue rather than a procurement award.
