Board approves Mangels rezoning ordinance after brief public opposition
Summary
The Story County Board of Supervisors approved Ordinance No. 331 to rezone a portion of the Mangels subdivision from A‑1 to R‑1 after a public hearing in which two Franklin Township residents voiced opposition. The board waived third consideration and approved the ordinance unanimously.
The Story County Board of Supervisors on April 14 approved Ordinance No. 331, changing a portion of the Mangels subdivision (case OZM26‑000011, parcel #05‑20‑200‑140) from A‑1 Agricultural to R‑1 Transitional Residential. The vote followed a public hearing in which two Franklin Township residents raised concerns about the change.
Marcus Amman, Senior Planner, reviewed the conditions of approval and the process that subsequent development plans will follow. Murken opened the public hearing at 10:44 a.m.; Rosalyn Brandt and Bob Brandt of Franklin Township both stated they oppose the rezoning and asked that their concerns be addressed prior to approval. Justin Dodge of Hunziker Development Group told the board the developer "aligns with policy to protect its significant investment." Amman confirmed that "yes, the ordinance changes the zoning" and that later site plans will be reviewed by Planning and Development and the Board as appropriate.
Supervisor Lisa Heddens moved to approve Ordinance No. 331 on second consideration, waiving third consideration; Supervisor Latifah Faisal seconded and the motion carried unanimously on a roll call vote. The ordinance amends the official Story County zoning map for the referenced parcel and carries conditions discussed in earlier consideration.
Next steps noted by staff include submission of site plans and any required development review. No timeline for building permits or construction was provided during the meeting.
