Council approves site-specific rezone after split vote
Summary
Twisp Council passed Ordinance #820, a site-specific rezone, after debate about zoning priorities and housing use of town property. The motion passed with several council members opposed.
The Twisp Town Council voted to adopt Ordinance #820, a site-specific rezone, following discussion about how rezones fit into broader housing priorities.
Mayor Smith suggested the town "look at zoning and the priorities when being brought rezones" and consider using town-owned property to meet housing needs, telling council he "believes Town will rise to that challenge." Council Member Katrina Auburn moved to accept the ordinance and Council Member Aaron Studen seconded. The motion passed with Council Member Wyatt Lundquist recorded voting for and Council Members Will Menzies and Tim Matsui recorded voting against.
Council members debated the pros and cons of approving the request, and discussion focused on balancing immediate rezoning requests with a larger strategy for housing and land use. The minutes do not record any amendments to the ordinance.
