Tuesday, June 16, 2026
Note: This summary is based on the meeting packet (minutes and transcript were unavailable or not used).
What Happened
Ward 2 Neighborhood Advisory Board met on June 17, 2026, with agendas approved unanimously but three major zoning applications left unresolved after member questions and concerns.
Key Decisions
None. The board approved routine procedural items (May 19 agenda and April 21 minutes) but took no binding votes on substantive matters.
Debated But Not Resolved
Reno Ave Project — Council Liaison Duerr could not confirm whether the $1,000,000 RDA-funded project was officially approved; Member Keats questioned approval status — unclear when clarification will come.
935 Manzanita Setback Deviation (LDC26-00068) — Member Keats wants better photos and proof the applicant had a valid initial deviation before reducing carport setback from 5 feet to 2.5 feet; Member Oliver asked about property line surveys and whether the structure is a carport or garage — continued to Planning Commission, likely June 4.
Kengott Residence Accessory Building (LDC26-00078) — Member Keats questioned why a 1,200 square-foot limit should be waived to allow 1,800 square feet; Member Oliver raised parking and neighbor concerns — applicants must meet with Lake Ditch and Agricultural Committee on flooding issues before Planning Commission hearing on June 17.
What to Watch
$2,000,000 — Lear Theater potential funding — RDA 1 debt payoff surplus
$2,000,000 — RTC street improvements — RDA 2 debt payoff surplus
$110,000,000 — Pavement preservation and RTC transit operations — voter-approved fuel tax and multiple sources
$33,800,000 — Sierra Street Bridge replacement (2027 project) — funding source not specified
$74,800,000 — Keystone Avenue Bridge replacement (2028 project) — funding source not specified
Reno Ave Project approval status — The $1,000,000 RDA-funded project remains stuck in limbo; council must clarify whether this was actually approved before work can proceed.
Kengott accessory building decision — Applicants must resolve flooding concerns with Lake Ditch and Agricultural Committee; Planning Commission will decide June 17 whether to allow the 600-square-foot expansion.
Bridge replacement funding — Two major projects totaling $108.6 million have no identified funding source yet; watch for future discussions on how these will be paid for.
