applications to fill Position 1 and make recommendation to the Mayor.

Association of Realtors.

--------------------------- ------------------
F. STAFF COMMUNICATIONS, REPORTS, INFORMATION AND UPDATES
1. Cannabis Ordinance Update
Mr. Maevers: Presented the City of Roswell’s current update of the Cannabis Ordinance.
Amendment #2 is going to go to Legal Committee on October 28, 2021, where City Council
will have the subsequent hearing on December 9, 2021. The Clean Air Act will correspond
with Chapter 27 of the Municipal Code.
2. Housing and Development Update
Mr. Maevers: Last week, the Legal Committee approved the city’s proposed Municipal
Infrastructure Reimbursement Program (MIRP), which is something that has been discussed
for a few years. The proposal is set to be heard by the City Council on October 14, 2021 for
adoption. The intent of the program is to facilitate the development of market-rate, single-
family and multi-family housing projects. A goal of the program is to facilitate owner
occupancy of single-family residential units.
The Community Development Department will move into a new Development Services
Center in the Sunwest Centre Office Complex. The Sunwest ground floor lease space has been
completely remediated and all five divisions will be in the building. Staff hopes to relocate in
December, right around the holidays, with situated occupancy by mid to late January.
Planning and zoning staff, as well as staff across the entire Community Development
department, has been quite busy with permits, phone calls and visitors. A purchaser bought
the Town Plaza Apartments. There are additional commercial developments on the horizon
including Texas Roadhouse, the future Tierra Berrenda Plaza and development in the Wilshire
Plaza.

G. PUBLIC COMMENTS
Mr. Larry Connolly: Keep Roswell Beautiful has updated the new logo and has ordered
new reusable bags. Some realtors have shown interest in funding bags to hand out to
people around the city for free and to give to new homeowners.
Chair Storey: Some place like the new city building will have a lot of visitors, so you
should give the bags out there.
Mr. Maevers: That is a great idea.
Mr. Maevers: Spencer is devising new checklists and permit applications together to
streamline permitting and to help ensure that all new housing is in compliance with FHA
loan requirements. This will allow residents to apply for FHA backed loans on their
homes and not have to pay PMI fees. In particular, staff is asking for more information in
regards to grading and drainage. It is important to reiterate that the purpose of this is to
facilitate the permitting and reviewing process.
Commissioner Henderson: Is the Allsup’s on Second and Sycamore still going to be
implemented?
Mr. Maevers: Allsup’s is currently reconsidering their options. Staff and Planning and
Zoning Commission will have to consider the cumulative impacts of development,
especially along the Sycamore Corridor.
