Council defers North Governor Street rezoning after protest petition; public hearing remains open
Summary
A rezoning proposal for roughly 5.5 acres between North Dutch and North Governor Street was continued to April 15 at the developer's request after the city attorney reported a valid protest petition requiring six votes for approval.
The Iowa City Council agreed to continue the public hearing and defer consideration of a rezoning application affecting approximately 5.49 acres between North Dutch and North Governor Street to April 15, after staff reported a valid protest petition and the developer requested the continuance.
City legal staff informed the council that the protest petition was valid and therefore the rezoning would require a supermajority of six votes to pass, regardless of how many council members attend the subsequent meeting. Because Mayor Teague was absent, the developer requested the matter be deferred to April 15 so the mayor can participate.
A motion to continue the public hearing and defer first consideration to April 15 was moved and seconded and approved on a voice vote; the public hearing remains open and will be resumed on the April 15 agenda.
