Council report: land‑use/zoning proposal near Masonic Temple tabled after planning comments
Summary
Councilwoman Manzion reported that a proposed land‑use/zoning change for the area near the Masonic Temple was tabled so the applicant can revise plans after hearing public and planning commission concerns about density and infrastructure.
During the commission meeting on Nov. 12, Councilwoman Manzion reported on a recent city council work session about a proposed land‑use designation and zoning change for the area near the Masonic Temple. She said the applicant requested the item be tabled so they could return with revisions after considering comments from the planning commission and public.
Manzion said the council heard concerns similar to those raised at the planning commission meeting, including objections to increases in density. "We sent the message that we're not comfortable increasing the density on the area," she said. Commissioners and council members discussed cluster density, available developable acreage, and community concerns about roads and rock/soil conditions.
No formal action was taken by the planning commission on the matter during this meeting; the council will revisit the proposal when the applicant returns with revised plans.
