Item W1 · Zoning
Workshop: Bridger Neighborhood downzone from MR-20 to MR-12, Ordinance 26-06
Discussed
Community Development Director Russ Holley described a downzone of a 0.22-acre parcel brought by the city. A prior owner bought believing a duplex was allowed and staff found an illegal subdivision; the parcel was upzoned three times, with earlier approvals expiring, and the council had directed that zoning not be extended again. A new owner pulled a building permit about two weeks before the zoning expired, and construction has not begun. The owner plans a single residence. The Planning Commission recommended approval 6-0 on February 12. Action was set for March 17.
- Acres: 0.22
- Current zone → proposed: MR-20 → MR-12
- Planning Commission: recommended approval 6-0, February 12, 2026
Item W2 · Zoning
Workshop: Maple View Subdivision rezone, Ordinance 26-07
Discussed
An agent for the Adams family trust asked to rezone about 10 acres west of Equestrian Estates in the Woodruff Neighborhood from NR-4 (about four units an acre) to MR-9 (up to nine). It is a zoning request only with no subdivision plan, and a small northwest corner lies in a landfill overlay where homes are not allowed. The Planning Commission recommended denial 6-0 after about nine residents spoke, most calling it incompatible with the single-family pattern. Council Member Simmonds said the Woodruff Neighborhood Plan intentionally included NR-4. City Attorney Craig Carlston said the city uses a Planned Development Overlay rather than deed restrictions, which takes about four months. Action was set for March 17.
- Acres: about 10
- Current zone → proposed: NR-4 → MR-9
- Future Land Use Plan: Detached Residential
- Planning Commission: recommended denial 6-0
Item W3 · Contract
Workshop: UAMPS amended and restated power pooling agreement, Resolution 26-07
Discussed
Light & Power Resource Manager Tyson Godfrey said the late-1980s pooling agreement is outdated and that UAMPS will act as Logan's scheduling and market agent when western utilities move to the Extended Day Ahead Market on May 1, 2026. Logan keeps control of its resources, pays for its purchases and its share of administrative costs, and withdrawal requires at least five years' notice. Staff recommended approval. Action was set for March 17.
Item W4 · Budget
Workshop: budget adjustments, Resolution 26-08
Discussed
Finance Director Richard Anderson previewed $30,710 in insurance proceeds for fire engine repair, a $10,786 library state grant, $400,000 for electrical construction for more service connections than expected, and wildland deployment reimbursements of $361,625 (fire) and $39,002 (EMS), $842,123 in all.
