Please vote for a deferral on Agenda Item 8.2, Actions Related to the Arena Hotel Redevelopment and Homekey Program Transition.No outreach was performed to explain the changes to the plan, and it is inconsistent with what the community was previously presented.
With the upcoming addition of a preschool at the adjacent address, it is imperative that significant thought be given to future use of the property.
