    UPDATE: On April 3, 2023 City Council voted to approve the rezoning. This case is now closed for comment.

    PROJECT DESCRIPTION:

    An application is under review for rezoning of property located at NHN Deer Creek Road (Tract 2 of Certificate of Survey 5850.) The property is located one parcel east of 984 Deer Creek Road. It is currently being used for a bee pollination business. The site is currently zoned R20 Residential. The applicant is seeking to change the zoning to R40 Residential. City Council will either approve or deny the rezoning request. The requested zoning district is a standard zoning district that applies equally to other areas of the City with the same zoning designation. City Council cannot subject the rezoning approval to conditions because state law prohibits conditions to standard zoning districts.

    The R20 zoning district permits detached houses and lot-line houses. The required setbacks are 25 feet in front and rear, 15 feet on interior sides, and 12.5 feet on street sides. The maximum height is 30 feet. This zoning district permits a density of 2 dwelling units per acre.

    The R40 zoning district permits all the same residential building types and uses as the R20 zoning district, with the addition of Animal Agriculture. The required setbacks and maximum height are the same as the R20 zoning district. This zoning district permits a density of 1 dwelling unit per acre.

    The subject property is in the Marshall Canyon Neighborhood and Council Ward 1.
