Council denies rezoning request at 6636 North 30th Avenue after applicant absence
Summary
The council denied a rezoning ordinance for property at 6636 North 30 First Avenue (R-4 to R-5) by a recorded roll-call vote after the applicant failed to appear at the meeting; Planning Board and Planning Department had recommended approval.
The Omaha City Council on April 22 voted 7-0 to deny an ordinance to rezone property at 6636 North 30 First Avenue from R-4 35 District to R-5 District after the applicant did not appear at the meeting.
City staff noted the item had been postponed previously and that the vote could proceed without the applicant present; the Planning Board and Planning Department had recommended approval. Council Member Johnson moved to deny, which received a second; the roll-call vote was recorded as 7-0 in favor of denial.
Council comments indicated the postponement had been intended to give the applicant an opportunity to appear. With no applicant present, the council exercised its prerogative to vote. The council’s denial means the applicant will need to reapply and return to the Planning Board and council if they seek rezoning again.
