Rezoning request withdrawn after residents say mailed notices arrived late; item tabled indefinitely
A request to rezone a property from Agricultural (AG) to R‑6 residential (case 250119Z) was withdrawn and the Planning and Zoning Commission voted to table the item indefinitely after residents said the city’s mailed notices arrived too late for them to file a protest or prepare a response.

Planner Araceli Boteo told the commission that the applicant submitted a written confirmation to withdraw the rezoning request, so no further action on the substance of the rezoning was required. During public comment, Paul Lehman and Matt Olavolo — representing nearby neighborhoods — said many households in adjacent subdivisions received their mailed notices several days after the notice was postmarked, which may have prevented timely protest filings under the timeline referenced in the meeting (referred to by a commenter as "code 211"). Both speakers asked for more time and urged the city to consider earlier mailing or additional notice methods.

Commissioner Watley moved to close the public hearing and table this item indefinitely; Commissioner Conrad seconded and the motion passed unanimously.
