SUMMARY OF COMMISSION ACTION
On September 11, 2017, the Planning Commission considered this request to rezone 35 contiguous lots from R-1 to the R-1/S zoning designation to limit homes in that area to single stories. The rezoning would affect only the 35 properties included in the application area, and would prohibit future two-story homes and additions in the rezone area.
One individual spoke in favor of the rezoning (no one spoke in opposition). The Planning Commission voted 5-1 to recommend the City Council approve the rezoning request
Minutes of the Planning Commission meeting of September 11, 2017 are in Attachment 8.
