Council introduces rezoning ordinance for several parcels, first reading approved
Summary
The council gave first reading to Ordinance No. 720 to rezone multiple APNs to RM-1.5 and RM-3 and establish a 'By-Right Approvals' zoning chapter. Two council members recused, and the first reading passed 3–0 with two abstentions.
The Exeter City Council introduced and provided first reading by title to Ordinance No. 720 on July 28, 2026, proposing rezoning of several assessor parcel numbers to RM-1.5 High Density Residential and RM-3 Medium Density Residential, and establishing Chapter 17.59 "By-Right Approvals" in the zoning ordinance. Contract City Planner Josh McDonnell presented the staff report and the mayor closed the public hearing after three public speakers, including property owner Chris Tantau, spoke in support of staff's recommendation.
Council Members Vicki Riddle and Mayor Pro Tem Jeff Wilson recused themselves from this item due to conflicts of interest and stepped down from the dais; the ordinance required a unanimous vote of the remaining members for approval. The council approved first reading by a 3–0 vote with the two recused members recorded as abstentions and directed staff to return for second reading and adoption.
