Summary
The Planning Commission recommended approval of a zoning map amendment for two parcels at approximately 1355 W Center St., reclassifying them from R1-15 to R1-8 to match surrounding medium-density residential zoning and the Westfields overlay general plan designation.
The Planning Commission recommended that the City Council amend the official zoning map to rezone two parcels near 1355 West Center Street from R1-15 to R1-8.
Staff explained the surrounding parcels were rezoned to R1-8 in 2022 and that the requested change aligns the subject parcels with the general plan’s medium-density designation and the Westfields overlay. Staff noted the original R1-15 classification was retained historically in part because some homeowners sought to preserve animal-keeping rights; staff said landowners may request changes consistent with the general plan and that staff recommended approval.
No public opposition appeared during the hearing. A commissioner moved and the commission voted, by voice, to recommend the City Council approve the map amendment.
What happens next: The commission’s recommendation will be forwarded to the City Council for final action. If adopted, the parcels will be zoned R1-8 and would then be eligible for any density bonuses or overlay incentives applicable under the Westfields overlay.
