Summary
At its Jan. 27 meeting the Huxley City Council held a public hearing on rezoning land at the corner of 210th and 560th to R-5 (Planned Unit Development). Residents objected; the council approved the ordinance’s first reading after a presentation on Project Lion.
The Huxley City Council on Jan. 27 opened a public hearing to consider rezoning property at the corner of 210th and 560th from A-1 (Agricultural Holding District) to R-5 (Planned Unit Development). The property is owned by Merle Dean Brendeland, Janis Brendeland and Megan Russell.
Residents Cory Larson and John Kowalik presented objections to the rezoning and a letter of protest was filed with the city. Dillon Kline of the Ames Regional Economic Alliance provided an overview of “Project Lion,” describing benefits the alliance said the project would bring to Huxley. The hearing was closed at 6:22 p.m.
Council then conducted the first reading of an ordinance recorded in the minutes as Ordinance 556 to rezone the parcel. City Attorney Erin Clanton advised that the letter of protest, as filed, did not require a supermajority vote. A motion by Councilmember Mulder, seconded by Councilmember Rigler, to approve the first reading was recorded as approved by the five councilmembers (Echer, Rigler, Murphy, Roberts, Mulder). No nay votes were recorded in the minutes.
The record shows only the objections and the Project Lion presentation; the minutes do not record ordinance text details such as permitted uses, density, or development conditions. Those specifics are not specified in the minutes and will determine next steps and any required site or development approvals if the rezoning proceeds. The council may consider later readings, conditions or final adoption as required by ordinance procedure.
