## Summary

The upcoming ABC Board meeting on May 16th will focus primarily on the proposed revisions to the city's zoning ordinances, particularly concerning residential density in Ward 3. Discussions will also center on the progress of the downtown revitalization project, including updates on grant applications and potential partnerships with local businesses. Finally, the board will review a proposal for increased funding for community arts programs throughout the city.

A key decision expected at this meeting is a vote on the first phase of zoning ordinance changes, which could significantly impact property values and development in Ward 3. The board will also be considering whether to approve a memorandum of understanding with the Downtown Business Alliance, outlining shared responsibilities for the revitalization project. Citizens are encouraged to attend or view the meeting online as public comment will be accepted regarding both the zoning revisions and the downtown revitalization plan.

The current zoning regulations have been in place for over twenty years, and these proposed changes reflect evolving community needs. The downtown revitalization project aims to attract new businesses and improve the overall vibrancy of the city center, while increased funding for arts programs would support local artists and cultural events.
