The Council will receive a briefing about a proposal that would amend the zoning of the
property at approximately 450 East 700 South from RMF-35 (Moderate Density Multi

would enable the construction of two new houses on the property in a configuration
similar to how properties in the area would have been historically divided. There is a
private easement intended to preserve an existing house on the property. As it is a private
easement, the City does not have a legal interest in it. The project is located within
Council District 4. Petitioner: Trevor Cell, property owner.
