This Thursday, January 11th, 2024, the EPC will be reviewing IDO City wide amendments and the 2 small area amendments: the Rail Trail and to remove the Volcano Heights Urban Center prohibition on Drive throughs. Luckily staff is recommending denial of the amendment to remove the prohibition on drive thru's on Volcano Mesa.
