    Riverside Cottages zoning map and master plan amendments

    Discussed

    Planning staff presented a request to rezone parts of 1500, 1516, 1520 and 1522 West 500 North and 552 North 1500 West from R-1/7,000 to SR-3 (smaller lots, townhouses and duplexes), with southern strips to R-1/5,000, plus a Northwest Community Master Plan amendment. The Planning Commission forwarded a favorable recommendation, and staff noted public feedback in opposition. Planned development approval would be required. Applicant Bert Holland of Hoyt Place Development said existing homes would be renovated. Council Members asked about access, a walkway to Backman Elementary, trees and green space, ownership and bedroom counts.
