The Appleton City Plan Commission on Oct. 8 approved rezoning number 825 to assign an R1B zoning classification to two recently annexed parcels at 1624 and 1720 E. Melody Lane (formerly in the town of Grand Chute).

Don (staff member) explained the rezoning follows annexation and is intended to assign a city zoning classification consistent with the city’s land use plan. He said that the properties had been annexed into the city and that "the zoning designation of R1B was chosen for these 2 properties and staff is recommending approval of the rezoning." The properties are approximately 2 acres in total, the staff presentation noted.

The public hearing produced no speakers. The commission then moved and seconded approval; the presiding officer recorded the vote as unanimous and the rezoning was approved.

Next steps: the rezoning will be reflected in city zoning maps and will guide future use and permitting on the parcels now within city limits.
