Council approves rezoning in Lakeview South to allow subdivision into two single-family lots
Summary
The Provo City Council voted unanimously to rezone roughly 1.53 acres at 44 North 2760 West from Agriculture to R1.8, allowing the parcel to be subdivided into two single‑family homes; the measure passed 7–0 after a brief presentation by Mary Barnes and no public opposition at the hearing.
The Provo City Council approved an ordinance to amend the zoning map for approximately 1.53 acres generally located at 44 North 2760 West in the Lakeview South neighborhood, changing the designation from Agriculture to R1.8 (single-family residential). Mary Barnes presented the item and told the council the rezone would permit the property to be subdivided into two lots that must meet existing R1.8 standards.
Barnes said the property contains a narrow strip of agricultural zoning that is inconsistent with surrounding parcels and that the R1.8 zone would align development rules with adjacent single‑family lots. "So this is just a basic rezone," Barnes said, explaining the change is intended to allow subdivision into two single‑family homes.
The chair opened the item for public comment; none was offered. Council members then moved to a roll-call vote on the implied motion to approve the rezoning. When polled, the named councilors answered in the affirmative and the motion passed 7–0. The meeting record lists the roll-call prompts and affirmative responses for the seven voting seats called during the motion.
The ordinance will take effect in accordance with the council's usual ordinance-adoption procedures. The council also noted that any changes beyond the approved rezone would need to comply with R1.8 requirements or return to the council for further review.
