The Coralville City Council is meeting tonight, with second approval of an updated policing ordinance and a rezoning request for a 100-plus acre housing development on the agenda.
The ordinance, developed by Coralville officials with help from members of the Iowa-Nebraska chapter of the NAACP, includes the creation of a Citizen’s Community Police Board, and prohibits certain conduct like racial profiling and using derogatory language aimed at any individual demographic.
The Council already approved the first reading of the ordinance, which needs three approvals to go on the books.
The council will also entertain a rezoning request from Applicant Crossing Land LLC. They want to develop a residential project on a large piece of land north of Kennedy Parkway and west of Camp Cardinal Boulevard, mixing single-family, duplex, townhouse, apartment and retirement village units. Coralville’s Planning and Zoning Commission has already unanimously recommended approval of the rezoning request in October. If council follows suit, Applicant Crossing Land says they will build the development over the next five years.
