    Alliance Acquisition LLC asked to rezone 0.26 acres in the Woodruff Neighborhood from MR-12 to Neighborhood Center so a 1920 house can become a small food business, near the fairgrounds, aquatic center and Logan High School. Staff recommended approval and the Planning Commission voted 5-0 on December 11. Council Member Simmonds asked about Neighborhood Center size limits; planner Russ Holley said 3,000 square feet of commercial space per parcel, or 5,000 with a conditional use permit, with no limit on the number of parcels.

    Fairgrounds North rezone, South 400 West, Ordinance 26-02 (public hearing)

    Approved · 4-1

    The council rezoned 0.26 acres from MR-12 to Neighborhood Center for a 1920s brick bungalow expected to become a food business, near a bagel and donut shop the applicant is finishing across the street. The Planning Commission recommended approval. Council Member Simmonds questioned how many parcels should count as one center, whether they must be contiguous, and when a cluster should become Community Commercial. Council Member Lee-Koven said each center is unique and merits case-by-case review; Council Member López said it did not look out of place near the fairgrounds. The minutes state the motion carried 5-0, but the roll call lists four ayes and one no.

    Moved by Council Member Ernesto López, seconded by Council Member Melissa Dahle. Vote: 4-1 per the recorded roll call; Council Member Jeannie Simmonds voted no (the minutes' text says 5-0)
