Summary
The Ballard Planning Commission on June 2 approved a zone change from A-5 to RA-1 for property at 1920 N 2500 E, recommended the change to the City Council, and recorded a recusal by Chairman Joe Allred because a relative was on the agenda.
The Ballard Planning Commission voted June 2 to approve a zone change from A-5 to RA-1 for property at approximately 1920 N 2500 E and recommended the measure to the City Council. Board Member Mark Redmond moved for approval; Board Member Robin Moran seconded. Chairman Joe Allred was recused from the matter because a relative appeared on the agenda.
The request, submitted by property owner Ben Allred, was heard during a public hearing that the commission opened and then closed during the meeting. The commission conducted routine business first, approving the meeting agenda and the minutes of May 5, 2026, before taking up the rezoning petition. After the public hearing, Mark Redmond moved to approve the zone change and recommend it to the City Council; Robin Moran seconded and the motion carried among the participating members. The minutes record that Joe Allred recused himself from the vote due to the disclosed familial relationship.
The meeting record does not include the text of conditions, findings, or staff recommendations tied to the rezoning; it records the procedural actions taken (opening the hearing, presenting the request, closing the hearing, and voting to recommend approval). The commission adjourned at 6:15 p.m.
Next steps: the commission’s recommendation will be forwarded to the City Council for its consideration; the minutes do not specify a date for council consideration or any related draft ordinance details.
