Commission denies Jensen rezoning request from MU-160 to RR-5, citing road access and orderly development
Summary
The commission followed the Planning Commission's recommendation and denied a request to rezone 96 acres from MU-160 to RR-5, with staff and planners citing inadequate roadway capacity and concern about leapfrog development.
Scott Lyons of Community Development summarized the Jensen family's application to rezone 96 acres from MU-160 to RR-5. He told the commission the Planning Commission recommended denial because the existing roadway was not adequate for additional homes (citing section 2-2-080) and the change would not constitute general orderly development (citing section 2-2-060), describing the proposal as potentially "leapfrog development."
Commissioner Perry moved to follow the Planning Commission's recommendation and deny the zoning map amendment; the motion was seconded and approved by voice vote. Commissioners noted road and infrastructure shortcomings as the principal reasons for the denial and recorded the Planning Commission's findings into the record.
