Council meeting agendas are often difficult for people to navigate. Filled with jargon and legal requirements on how an item must be listed, it can be a challenge to determine what Council members are actually discussing or deciding on.
What follows is a staff interpretation of the agendas.
The official published agendas and supporting materials can be found here: http://agendas.provo.org
This meeting will be conducted both in-person and virtually. The in-person meeting will be held in the Council Chambers (445 W. Center St., Provo). The meeting will be available to the public for live broadcast and on-demand viewing on YouTube and Facebook at: youtube.com/provocitycouncil and facebook.com/provocouncil.

An ordinance amending the list of appendices included in the Provo City General Plan. Citywide Application. (Related to PLGPA20210364)
The 2023 General Plan was adopted on January 17, 2023. The Plan was adopted with Appendices A-D. At the January 17, 2023 Council meeting, the Council acted to include many of the appendices from the 2004 General Plan because they contain information and data that is still applicable to the City’s planning efforts (there were a handful that were no longer applicable).
**CONTINUED** An ordinance amending the Zone Map of approx. 5.7 acres, located at 4093 N 100 E, from Low Density Residential (LDR) to Medium Density Residential (MDR) and authorizing a related Development Agreement. Riverbottoms Neighborhood. (PLRZ20220345)
The subject property is the last phase of a larger development that includes an assisted living facility to the north and townhomes and single-family homes to the south. The zone changes needed to facilitate this development were very controversial at the time and after a year of meeting with surrounding residents, the current zoning was approved by the Municipal Council. Because of the controversial nature of this project, a development agreement was executed to assure citizens and the builder/developer exactly what was agreed upon and what could be built. The applicant is requesting approval for two parcels of land to be rezoned from the (Low Density Residential) LDR zone to the Medium Density Residential (MDR) zone totaling approximately 5.7 acres. The reason for the rezone request is to get a zone that allows for more height than the existing zone does. The reason that both parcels (phase I and II) are being rezoned is because the lots will be combined into one lot and the zoning needs to be consistent throughout the whole parcel.
An ordinance requesting a street vacation for Edgewood drive from 5400 North to 5600 North. Riverbottoms Neighborhood. (PLSV20220006)
Dudley & Associates requests a Street Vacation for the northern portion of Edgewood Drive, starting approximately at 5404 N Edgewood Drive, to allow for a new office development in a proposed PO zone.
**CONTINUED** Ginny Smith requests annexation of approximately 9.1 acres located at approximately 5500 N Canyon Rd. The subject property lies adjacent to the North Timpview Neighborhood. (PLANEX20230020)

What do those numbers at the ends of the agenda items mean?

You may find it helpful in cases where an item may be worded a little differently on different agendas. Matching up that file number helps you see that it is the same issue.
