Denied · 5-0
The council denied changing the nearly 2-acre parcel from Residential Medium to High Density and rezoning it from R2-7500 to R4-7500 for townhomes. Senior Planner Adam Olsen said an R3-7500 zone could allow up to fourplexes without a land-use change; Legal Counsel Cherylyn Egner said needed right-of-way had not been secured. Carroll and Taylor opposed new pockets of high density; Barnes called it spot zoning; Shelton said twin homes fit and asked staff to revisit the high-density designation on the nearby trailer park (done Oct. 27).
