Although a specific development is not being proposed at this time, the rezone is in
anticipation of bringing illegally added dwelling units up to code. Petitioner: Ale
Gicqueau, Petition No.: PLNPCM2022-00251.
The Planning Commission forwarded a negative recommendation, therefore an
ordinance has not been drafted. If the Council decides to approve the zone
amendment, an ordinance would be drafted and considered for approval.
