Body
ISSUE: This is the final vote for the rezoning, after the public hearing and the property has been annexed. The applicant is requesting to rezone the property from R-20 to RAD-Conditional for the subdivision of the subject property into two lots. The applicant is proposing to leave the existing home on one lot (closest to Belmont Avenue) and construct a new detached single family home on the second lot.
