Housing: Council will consider a proposed Housing Work Plan for 2018-2019 and refer elements to the Planning & Transportation Commission for preparation of related zoning ordinance(s). The Evergreen Park/Mayfield Residential Parking Permit Program (RPPP) will be discussed, including possibly allowing more commercial permits. The whole purpose for a RPPP is to reduce commercial use, not increase it.
