Council packet shows phone poll on North Plum Street rezoning request
Summary
The City of Montezuma packet records a Jan. 24, 2025 phone poll asking the mayor and council to approve rezoning North Plum Street from R-1 (single-family) to R-3-R (residential allowing double-wide mobile homes with restrictions); a Planning & Zoning Board had recommended approval and a Jan. 23 public hearing drew eight attendees with no objections. The packet does not state the councilfinal vote.
A phone poll of the City of Montezuma mayor and council was recorded Jan. 24, 2025 to consider a rezoning request for North Plum Street from R-1 (single-family residential) to R-3-R (residential allowing double-wide mobile homes with restrictions). The packet lists Mayor Nealie Johnson and seven councilmembers as present and asks: "Do you approve the rezone request?"
The Planning & Zoning Board previously voted to approve the zoning change on July 18, 2022, and the packet records a public hearing on Jan. 23, 2025 that drew eight citizens and "no objections." The boardrecommendation and the absence of objections at the hearing are recorded in the packet as the basis for presenting the matter to the mayor and council by phone poll.
Why it matters: Changing zoning from R-1 to R-3-R would allow housing types (double-wide mobile homes) that are not permitted under the existing single-family designation; that change can affect housing density, property uses and rules the city enforces.
The packet provides no formal motion text, mover/second, or a vote tally for the council phone poll. The record shows the question was placed for a phone poll but does not specify the councilfinal disposition in the provided pages. The Planning & Zoning Board recommendation and the Jan. 23 public-hearing record appear in the packet as the immediate supporting evidence for the request.
Next steps: If the council formally approves through its recorded process, the change would be reflected in minutes or in a subsequent ordinance document. The packet does not include such a signed ordinance or a recorded vote tally for the Jan. 24 phone poll.
