    Rezone of 442 North 300 West from R7.5 to R6.5

    Denied · 3-2

    Assistant Development Services Director Jason Bench presented an applicant's request to rezone the property so it could be divided into two residential lots, with the front lot holding access and an easement serving the back lot. Council Member LaNae Millett opposed building a home behind another home and said she preferred improving neighborhoods without increasing density. Council Member Jenn Gale said it could allow homeownership for more families. Mayor David Young also voiced concerns. Bench said neighbors' concerns were about street parking. No one spoke at the public hearing. The council voted to deny.

    Moved by Council Member LaNae Millett, seconded by Council Member David Spencer. Vote: Motion to deny passed 3-2 among council members; Council Members Chris Killpack and Jenn Gale voted no. Mayor David Young voted yes.
