   Zoning map amendment at approximately 1073 South Navajo Street

   Discussed

   Staff presented a request from the property owner to rezone a 0.49-acre lot from R-1/5,000 to RMF-30 to allow additional for-sale homes while keeping the existing house. The Planning Commission forwarded a positive recommendation. Members discussed consistency with the Westside Plan, development on the underused rear of the lot, whether owner-occupancy requirements could go in the development agreement, and general support for more housing on a large lot.

   • Acres: 0.49
   • Current zone → proposed: R-1/5,000 → RMF-30
   • Council District 2
   • Timeline: hearing Apr. 7; tentative action Apr. 21
