Panther Island District Development
The council adopted the new PI-Core and PI-Edge framework and rezoned nearly 449 acres, setting the rules for how Panther Island develops — density, building form, and design review.

Speakers kept hammering the Black Mountain data center zoning vote — alleging the motion wasn't properly made, questioning campaign donations from CEO Rhett Bennett, and citing water and noise data they say the council hasn't seen.
Arlington Heights High School Stealth Cell Tower Expansion
SBA Towers sought to extend an existing cell tower to 106 feet to add Verizon antennas and improve local wireless coverage.
