City Council members will review an agenda bill on authorization of the 2022 amendments to the Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Map at the City Council meeting tonight, Nov. 21, 2022.
Three amendment requests are being considered:
- Newport Area
- .41 acres of land was acquired to serve as part of the park dedication in 2019. It was included in a lot line adjustment in 2019 that incorporated it back into a larger 15.55 acre parcel owned by Anthology, and was unintentionally rezoned as part of the 2021 Comprehensive Plan amendments to Community Facilities-Recreation.
- Request from the Administration to change the zoning designation from Community Facilities-Recreation to Village Residential and change the land use designation from Community Facilities to Multifamily Residential.
- Wildwood Parcel
- Four-acre parcel located on Wildwood Boulevard SW just south of Newport Way SW.
- The property owner is requesting a zone change from Single Family-Small Lot to Multifamily-Medium and a land use change from Low Density Residential to Multifamily Residential.
- Our Savior Lutheran Church
- Contains a church and a single family house.
- Currently zoned Single Family-Small Lot and has a Low Density Residential land use designation. The applicant is requesting a zone change to Multifamily-High and a Multifamily Residential land use designation.
