  1. October 15, 2020 · City Council

    Public hearing: rezone 4813 South Viewmont Street from R-1-21 to R-1-10

    Continued

    The property is just under one acre and the applicant, an agent for the owner, sought three lots; the Planning Commission found the request consistent with the general plan. The community development director noted strong opposition and said R-1-15 (two lots) would be more appropriate. In the work meeting, Petersen called three homes dense, Gibbons leaned against R-1-10 and Quinn supported a new R-1-15 application; the city attorney said a new application would be the right path. The hearing ran 6:42 to 6:54 p.m.; a vote is set for November 5.

    • Acres: just under 1
    • Current zone → proposed: R-1-21 → R-1-10 (staff: R-1-15 more appropriate)
    • Planning Commission: found consistent with the general plan
