355 West University Parkway rezone (Cole West)
Cole West sought to rezone about 6 acres from R8 single-family to C-2 commercial with a development agreement barring vehicle-oriented uses and tattoo parlors. A concept plan keeps the existing office building and adds about 12,000 square feet of retail. The Planning Commission recommended approval 6-0; the council approved the rezone and agreement on June 23, 2026.

Public hearing: rezone about 6 acres at 355 West University Parkway from R8 to C-2 with development agreement
Continued · 5-0
Cole West requested rezoning roughly 6 acres from R8 single-family to C-2 commercial, consistent with the general plan's regional commercial designation. A concept plan keeps the existing office building (leased through 2032 to a pest-control firm) and adds just over 12,000 square feet of retail. A development agreement bars car sales and gas stations, and the Planning Commission added tattoo parlors; on April 15 the commission voted 6-0 to recommend approval. Applicant representative McKenna Christiansen said the company is not pursuing high-density residential. Council Member Millett raised access alignment with cross-streets; a traffic study will set the final configuration. No one spoke at the hearing. Because the agreement had not yet been signed, Hall asked for a continuance and the item was moved to the June 23 consent calendar.
