The mayor may, as presiding officer, extend the total time allowed for a topic. By rule, no action may be taken on any item brought before the council during open forum. The council may place items discussed during open forum onto subsequent council meeting agendas.) 5. Regular Agenda 5.1 The council will consider the second reading of an ordinance amending the zoning map to expand the Town Center base district and a resolution approving summary language for publication. The proposed rezonings are connected to the Town Center Vision Plan (TCVP), which the City Council developed in 2025 and approved on Feb. 17, 2026. The plan describes a long-term vision for how the Town Center area could gradually develop over the next 25 years. Before starting the planning process, the Council adopted a one-year moratorium on certain development review applications within the Town Center Core (TC) and Town Center-Planned Development (TC-PD) areas to give time for the plan to be finalized. As part of implementing the TCVP, several properties currently within the TC-PD overlay would be rezoned to TC and removed from the overlay district. At its March 9 meeting, the Planning Commission unanimously recommended approval of the proposed rezonings. There was no opposition expressed at the public hearing. On March 17, the City Council approved the first reading of the rezoning ordinance. Two Council actions are requested on April 7: First, staff recommends approval of the second reading and adoption of the rezoning ordinance. Second, staff recommends adopting the resolution approving the summary language for publication. 5.2 The council will consider civil penalties for violation of liquor license regulations by PurpleRose Lounge Corporation d/b/a PurpleRose Lounge, located at 5526 West Broadway. In February 2026, staff received notification from the state regarding a liquor license violation involving PurpleRose Lounge. The violation includes purchasing alcohol from another licensed retailer for resale. State law requires retailers to purchase alcoholic beverages only from licensed manufacturers, brewers or wholesalers. This action constitutes violations of both state law and Crystal City Code 1200.35. Now, the City Council may impose civil administrative penalties against the license holder for this violation of state law and Crystal City Code . Despite two previous state violations, this is considered a second liquor violation for PurpleRose Lounge. According to the City Code, the City Council may impose a penalty of a $1,500 fine and a five-day license suspension. 6. Council Comments and Announcements Page 3 of 3 a.
