Council approves Topham rezone ordinance after planning commission recommendation

Council members moved to suspend the rules and pass Ordinance 2026‑37 (Topham rezone) after a staff presentation describing the request. Angie (S12), the planning presenter, summarized the application as a request to rezone a 5‑acre undeveloped parcel southeast of Minden from A‑10 to RU‑2 with a maximum potential of two lots and noted the parcel is within Minden’s future annexation area. "Planning commission held a public hearing on September 3 and recommended approval on a 6 to 1 vote, finding that the rezone request meets the standards of the RU‑2 zone," Angie said.
