Council gives first consideration to rezoning request for 2.71 acres in 1st Ward
Summary
The Davenport City Council took first consideration of a rezoning request from agricultural to single‑family residential for roughly 2.71 acres south of Telegraph Road and east of South Utah Avenue (parcel S3117-05). No public comments were offered; the measure passed its first reading by roll call.
The Davenport City Council on April 8 gave first consideration to an application (REZ26‑02) to rezone about 2.71 acres in the city’s 1st Ward from AG (agricultural) to R‑1 (single‑family residential). The request, filed by Patrick Finley, was presented as the item opened for council consideration.
Mayor presided over the item and no members of the public asked to speak on the request. Alderman Newton asked for a brief clarification to distinguish the rezoning vote from paperwork a constituent had previously presented at another meeting; Newton said that review of those materials had created some confusion and thanked staff for confirming the matter before the council.
After council discussion concluded, Clerk Brian called the roll and the council recorded affirmative votes on first consideration. The item will return for subsequent readings and any required public hearing or staff recommendations before final action, per standard ordinance procedure.
The motion before the council on April 8 was limited to first consideration of the rezoning; the council did not adopt a final ordinance or change land‑use designations that night.
Next steps: the rezoning application remains on the council’s schedule for further consideration; staff and applicants may be asked to provide additional documentation or public notice before a final vote.
