During the hearing, neighbors across the road in the Steiner neighborhood spoke about the lack of inclusion in this action, and were not notified until the notice was published in the paper and/or they received notification by mail. At that time, the Planning & Zoning Commission decided to allow the cooperating neighbors to continue with their request, but recommended City Staff notify the remaining homeowners for a rezone of the remaining parcels on the block. City Council also approved this recommendation on July 18, 2018. 2. July 25', an application was submitted by the City Staff to rezone the remaining parcels. 3. August 27', staff went door-to-door contacting those landowners who lived within the block. Then, a letter was sent to land owners a pending land action notice was coming in the mail. 4. August 30`h, a written response from Jeff Diehl was received. 5. September 11, 2018, notice was sent to the local newspaper to be published on September 18a' and October 2"a 6.

October 4'h, the hearing was held before the Planning & Zoning Commission. 6:35PM — (18-00418) Steiner Block; In a previous Planning & Zoning meeting, it was determined not all neighbors were given the opportunity to participate in a rezone to HDR1. The Planning & Zoning Commission and City Council asked that the rest of the neighbors be notified. The City contacted the remaining property owners and talked with those on site regarding the rezone of the rest of the block. This rezone will complete the requested action, resulting in the entire block zoning as HDR1. — Rezone from MDR1 and MDR2 to HDR1. (action) — City Council Page 1 of 5 Natalie Powell talked about residents from Steiner who did not have the opportunity to rezone. Planning & Zoning Commissioners and City Council decided they would rezone the whole block based on public feedback. Natalie and Tawnya went door-to-door to speak to residents. The residents were in favor. Letters were also mailed out to notify property owners the change was coming in addition to the hearing notification. The HDR2 zone was not suggested for this area at this time, due to its distance from the University. Most of the HDR2 zoning right now is not built out to density capacity, so it was felt an HDR1 zone would be appropriate for this area. Commissioner Rory Kunz asked for any other clarifying questions. Steve Oakey asked about the corner piece. The lot at the northwest corner is so tiny, nothing else can be built on it due to the setback requirements. It is also in an industrial zone. The potato warehouse there now, is a grandfathered building. This parcel is separated from the rest of the block by the railroad tracks.
