Council moves two planning commission recommendations to consent; one request tabled
Summary
Planning staff said two zone-change items reviewed by the planning commission met standards and recommended placing them on consent; another complex item was tabled at the applicant’s request. Council had minor questions about split zoning and subdivision timing but approved consent placement.
The council reviewed three planning items forwarded by the planning commission: (1) a zone change for property at 2800 South, 1400 West from A-1 to R-2, (2) a general-plan amendment and zone change at 2000 West 2700 South from R-1 to R-3 (with discussion about split zoning and future lot lines), and (3) an item that staff asked to table because parts of the application changed after the packet was published.
Planning staff reported the planning commission recommended approval for the first item and suggested placing both straightforward items on the consent calendar for the business meeting. Councilors discussed the mechanics of split zoning, why cities sometimes zone large parcels differently from property lines in advance of subdivision, and whether proposed commercial frontage and future lot lines made the R-3 request appropriate for the non-frontage land.
One agenda item was tabled at staff request to allow the applicant to supply revised materials. Council asked planning staff to return the tabled item intact at a subsequent meeting so the council can consider the full package.
Ending: Two planning recommendations will be placed on consent for the next calendar; staff will return the tabled item after the applicant submits revised materials.
