Council adopts Hayden Homes 'Aerostat' zoning map amendment; ordinance published by summary
Summary
Rathdrum council approved the Hayden Homes Aerostat zoning map amendment (industrial to mixed residential MR) and adopted the ordinance on first reading by title, waiving subsequent readings and directing publication by summary. The ordinance includes applicant‑agreed conditions and references a development agreement requirement.
Rathdrum City Council adopted an ordinance on July 9 to rezone roughly 124 acres associated with the Hayden Homes “Aerostat” project from industrial to Mixed Residential (MR), as recorded in the official zoning map. The council approved putting the ordinance on first reading by title, suspended the rules to waive second and third readings, and authorized publication of the ordinance by summary.
The ordinance, as presented to council, incorporates conditions the applicant voluntarily agreed to during earlier hearings and references a development agreement the applicant will enter as a condition of the rezone. City staff confirmed the ordinance text reflects those conditions and stated that the development agreement requirement is captured by the ordinance language.
The motion to place the ordinance on first reading and waive further readings passed on a roll call vote. Council then moved and approved publication of the ordinance summary. Councilmembers discussed the usual mayoral sign/override procedures; the city attorney and clerk confirmed the mayor may veto but an override would require a full‑council vote in a later meeting if a veto were used.
Provenance: Discussion and motions for this item appear in the transcript under agenda item 8.b (zoning ordinance) beginning at 02:53:19 and concluding with the council votes at 03:07:05.
