Approved with conditions · 4-1
Council Member Jensen withdrew his motion to continue and moved to approve the rezone of about 35.48 acres near 1095 West 600 South from NR-4 to MR-9 with a deed restriction setting density at 5.3 units per acre. The restriction caps townhomes at 84 (down from 126) with at least 24 lots of 6,000 square feet, and binds all parcels and future buyers. Council Member Mark Anderson voted no, saying he was voting in line with the Woodruff neighborhood's opposition. The minutes do not confirm that school district comments were obtained.
- Acres: about 35.48
- Current zone → proposed: NR-4 → MR-9

Continued · 5-0
The request is to rezone about 35.48 acres near 1095 West 600 South from NR-4 to MR-9 for 208 units in three phases. Staff recommended denial and the Planning Commission voted 5-1 on March 23 to recommend denial; the Future Land Use Plan and Woodruff Neighborhood Plan designate the area for detached residential. Council Member Jensen withdrew an earlier motion to adopt. Members discussed a deed restriction capping townhomes at 126 and lot-size conditions if wetlands limit building, and asked for a more specific restriction and school district comments. The item was continued to May 16. Speakers raised density, traffic, wetlands, schools, parking and affordability; one speaker in favor cited starting prices of $375,000 for townhomes and $425,000 for single-family homes, and the developer, Visionary Homes, also spoke.
