Council sets Jan. 19 public hearings on two rezoning requests near Fourth Avenue East

The Superior City Council on Dec. 1 adopted two resolutions setting public hearings for Jan. 19 on proposed rezonings in the vicinity of 20 Fourth Avenue East. One resolution schedules a hearing on changing lots near Fourth Avenue East and East 16th Street from suburban district to Heavy Manufacturing District; the second schedules a hearing on changing lots near Fourth Avenue East and East 14th Street from Heavy Manufacturing District to suburban district. Both resolutions were approved by voice vote without recorded roll-call tallies. Why it matters: rezoning can change permitted land uses and development expectations for parcels near Fourth Avenue East; public hearings will allow affected residents, property owners and businesses to comment. The resolutions only schedule hearings and do not approve final rezonings. Next steps: the planning department will hold the Jan. 19 hearings and collect public comment; the council will consider final action after the public hearings. The transcript does not include detailed maps, parcel numbers or staff recommendations for the underlying rezoning proposals.
