Planning staff briefed the council on two separate rezoning requests during the Dec. 2 work session.

1172 Porter Ave. (Ponce de Leon): staff described a proposal by Jaime Ponce de Leon to consolidate small parcels north of 12th Street, rezone two parcels from R16 to R2, and extend the 12th Street corridor conditional overlay to allow a townhome project and development agreement that would require owner occupancy for at least 10 years. The staff presentation noted the proposal follows the Hillcrest‑Bonneville community plan guidance to consolidate small lots along a corridor. Planning Commission recommended approval. Council asked whether a traffic study had been done; staff said a traffic study will typically be required for any development that proposes access directly to 12th Street and acknowledged the packet omitted the standard noticing list (staff agreed to provide it before the public hearing).

211 Patterson St. (Ogden Housing Authority): staff described a Housing Authority proposal to rezone a parcel from R4 to R5 to permit an expanded, four‑story residential building increasing previously approved capacity from 12 to 25 units. The project is targeted to young adults aging out of foster care and would rely on project‑based vouchers and on‑site case management. Housing Authority representatives (Marquita Wheeler and architect Harold Woodruff) said the development is modeled after the nearby Solace project and will include supportive services to help residents transition off‑site; Wheeler said the approach has produced successful moves to permanent housing at Solace. Planning Commission recommended approval.

Council questions focused on traffic, parking and the concentration of supportive services on the block. Several members asked for a "heat map" showing the concentration of supportive housing and related services near the proposed site; staff agreed to provide that. Staff also confirmed low‑income parking standards (0.8 stalls per unit) may apply to subsidized housing and noted a large nearby parking lot is often underutilized.

Next steps: staff will supply the missing noticing list and relevant traffic/heat‑map data before the item is scheduled for formal action. The work session record does not show final decisions or votes.
