DATE: January 23, 2023 BACKGROUND The applicant requested a rezoning change from SF -3 to 2F, but withdrew the request and resubmitted the new application to rezone to MF -1. This new application was re -advertised with new notices mailed out to the neighborhood. This district would also permit the future construction of new duplexes and up to medium density residential. At its 12/5/22 meeting the P&Z recommended approval of the change in Future Land Use Map (FLUM) to medium density residential; and the council adopted the change on 12/12/22. At its meeting on 1/3/23 the P&Z recommended approval of the change in zoning to MF -1. There are however, no plans at this time to develop the site. In initial discussion with the applicant, there was interest expressed for entering the 5 In 5 Infill Housing Program and to potentially include the land to the South which is eligible for tax foreclosure. Several builders have expressed interest in the adjoining lot and it will be brought forward to the foreclosure sale by the City's Tax Attorney when feasible. The parcel fronts on an existing gravel road. Public works added fresh gravel to the road and the ditch was trimmed and mowed this year.
