Council upholds Sunnyside Hill rezone denial, tables citywide right‑of‑way ordinance
Summary
Pullman City Council upheld the planning commissioner's recommendation to deny a Sunnyside Hill rezone request and tabled proposed ordinance changes that would expand sidewalk/rights‑of‑way rules citywide.
The Pullman City Council on Dec. 17, 2024 upheld the planning commissioner's recommendation to deny a rezone request for Sunnyside Hill and tabled proposed ordinance changes related to right‑of‑way use for further review.
Mayor Francis Benjamin reported the council "upheld the planning commissioner's recommendation to not approve a rezone request on Sunnyside Hill." The council also tabled proposed ordinance revisions that would alter rules governing right‑of‑way use; the mayor said the proposed ordinance grew from earlier work on downtown sidewalk permits but the new language would apply citywide. Council members tabled the item to allow more time for review.
The decision to uphold the planning commissioner's recommendation is a final council action recorded in the recap. The right‑of‑way ordinance changes were deferred for additional consideration; no vote to adopt the ordinance was taken at the meeting.
