Workshop: Global Property townhome rezone, 295 West 500 North (Ordinance 20-19)
Discussed
The request would rezone 2.72 acres from Neighborhood Residential (NR-6) to Mixed Residential (MR-9). Staff and the Planning Commission (7-0, June 25) recommended denial. Two written comments were received. The Planning Commission text says 9.72 acres, which conflicts with the 2.72 acres used elsewhere. Action and a hearing were set for August 4.
- Acres: 2.72
- Current zone → proposed: NR-6 → MR-9
- Planning Commission: denial 7-0

Denied · 5-0
The request was to rezone 2.72 acres from NR-6 to MR-9 for townhomes. Staff and the Planning Commission (7-0) recommended denial, citing the Detached Residential designation and the need for single-family homes. Sue Sorenson, Ellis Neighborhood chair, Susan Scott (citing access, sewer problems and upkeep) and Joy Reyes opposed it. Lance Zollinger said a single-family design had been blocked and the townhomes would be for sale. Council Member Simmonds noted the Planning Commission's concern that land acquisition could make single-family development easier.
