    Rezone and master plan amendment at 865 South 500 East

    Discussed

    The petition would rezone the property from RMF-30 low-density multifamily to CN neighborhood commercial and amend the Central Community Master Plan so the existing single-family house can convert to a commercial use. The Planning Commission forwarded a positive recommendation, and public feedback was a mix of support and concern. The owner proposed a rear accessory dwelling unit to offset the loss of the house.

    Rezone and master plan amendment at 865 South 500 East (public hearing)

    Continued · 7-0

    The request is to rezone the property from RMF-30 to CN and amend the Central Community Master Plan so the existing house can convert to commercial use. One speaker generally supported it but asked about other zoning options for more housing; another said the neighborhood needs long-term residents and not more commercial use and asked that the hearing stay open; the chair of a neighborhood organization said affordable housing is the area's top priority and cautioned against businesses moving mid-block. The Council continued the hearing.
