The City Council shall be directed to cease any and all Apartment, Townhome and highdensity development projects within the historic district of OLD MANOR which shall be protected in the area defined in our Municipal Code 14.02.031 enacted in 2017. As such, all City staff activities to further these non-historic and similar developments shall cease for these and future similar development projects:

Said Citizens Panel shall elect officers and proceed to complete their approval in a timely manner with the assistance, coordination and support of Scott Jones, City of Manor Director of Economic Development.
