Summary

A request to rezone 96 acres in the Mantua area from MU‑160 to RR‑5 was denied after the Planning Commission recommended denial because existing roadway capacity was insufficient and the change would not support orderly county development.

Community Development Director Scott Lyons reviewed a request from the Jensen family to rezone approximately 96 acres in the Mantua area from MU‑160 to RR‑5. Lyons told commissioners the Planning Commission recommended denial, citing inadequate roadway capacity to support additional housing and that approval would not align with orderly county development patterns.

Commissioner Lee Perry moved to follow the Planning Commission’s recommendation and deny the rezoning request. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Bingham and carried unanimously on roll call.
