Because the Zoning Commission’s vote to approve the request was with less than 6 votes, the City Council will conduct a public hearing to consider and take action on this request at its October 17, 2017 meeting.

One person spoke in favor of the request and one spoke in opposition to the request. (See minutes of the September 18, 2017 Zoning Commission meeting). Since the Zoning Commission’s decision was with less than 6 affirmative votes, the City Council will review and take action following a public hearing.
This rezoning request includes the following conditions:
1. Uses limited to residential uses only.
2. The maximum height of any structures shall be two stories
BUDGET IMPACT:
This item will have no budget impact.
