Planning Director Andrew Mack explained the reason for the requested changed is to change the City's Future Land Use Map to assure that the rezoning of property is in accordance with the City's approved Comprehensive Plan. He said this property was zoned for a duplex but they were actually living in a quad-plex, without a permit. Mr. Mack also said that ownership had changed and the new owner was trying to rectify these issues. Mr. Mack said that a permit could not be issued unless the zoning was changed. Council Member Savage inquired about people objecting to the potential of more complexes. Mr. Mack said it was his understanding that the prior owner converted the duplexes to quad-plexes. Mayor Portugal questioned how that happened. Mr. Mack said it was discovered when City Staff was addressing code issues. Mayor Portugal inquired if the Fire Marshal had been to the property. Mr. Mack said the Fire Marshal would review the plans but an application could not be made until the zoning was changed. Mr. Mack answered additional questions from City Council and then said that the Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval, as did City Staff.
