Item 4 · Zoning
1360 North 200 West rezone from MR-12 to MR-20, Ordinance 24-23 (public hearing)
Continued · 5-0
The Planning Commission voted 4-0 on October 24 to recommend denial, and staff cited the Future Land Use Plan, the Bridger Neighborhood downzoning goals and consistency of MR-12 with surrounding properties, saying a move from duplex to fourplex is contrary to the neighborhood goal. Discussion covered the lot's 1995 subdivision, earlier rezones and expired permits, and possible deed restrictions. The applicant said he intends to blend with nearby duplexes and is willing to offer a deed restriction; one resident favored no more than a duplex because of parking. The council continued the item to December 3 without a public hearing.
- Acres: about 1.80
- Current zone → proposed: MR-12 → MR-20
- Planning Commission: recommended denial 4-0

Gail Yost expressed gratitude. Malena Haler raised complaints about a local vehicle-booting company, alleging fees above $75 and no refunds.
