Norcross City Council Agenda: Lionheart Theatre and Kudzu Art Zone Property Agreements, City Events Policy, Safe Routes to School

The Norcross City Council and mayor will meet for the July City Council Meeting and Regular Work Session on Monday (July 1). 

The council meeting will begin at 7 p.m. in the council chambers at city hall, located at 65 Lawrenceville Street. The work session will precede at 6:30 p.m. in the second floor conference room of the same building. 

The following items are on the agendas (click here for the entire agenda):

Hotel/Motel Fund Discussion: This agenda item outlines the policy of how events are planned within city limits, including the way the city can fund them. The proposed policy says events that have received city funding of up to $3,000 for more than three years may not be eligible anymore. At the June policy work session, several event organizers went before the council to express that they still need those funds. The committee overlooking the agenda item suggests that the council table the policy to allow additional input and planning.

Lionheart Theatre and Kudzu Art Zone Management Agreement: The agreement is a conclusion to the city's open bid process of the properties currently inhabited by Lionheart and Kudzu. The agreement allows the art spaces to stay in their current locations off College Street and Carlyle Street. 

The Purchase of Portable Restrooms: The portable restroom trailer, which would be purchased using SPLOST Recreation funds, would be used for city events.

Beaver Ruin Road Safe Routes to Schools Project Framework Agreement and Gwinnett Village CID Memorandum of Understanding: If ratified, the agreement would allow the city to receive funding for the project, which would build a multi-use trail along Beaver Ruin near Summerour Middle School.

Stream Buffer Variance: The applicant at 202 Lake Drive is proposing to demolish the existing home on the land and replace it with a new residence. The land size/topography does not allow for a wide floor plan, so the planning and zoning committee suggests that the city council table the item so that the applicant can explore an alternative configuration for the home.
