FOR
ZONE CHANGE
On May 7, 2003, Dean Peterson presented to the Rexburg City Clerk a Request and
Application for a zone change on property located at about 330 Pioneer Road in the City
of Rexburg, said property to be changed from Medium Density Residential (MDR) to
High Density Residential (HDR).
2. On May 13, 2003, the City Clerk sent the Notice of Public Hearing to be published in the
local newspaper on May 14, 2003, and June 2, 2003. A notice was posted on the property
and sent to all property owners within 300 feet of the above mentioned property.
3. On June 5, 2003, Dean Peterson appeared before the Planning & Zoning Commission for
the City of Rexburg requesting a zone change from Medium Density Residential (MDR)
to High Density Residential (HDR) on property located at about 330 Pioneer Road.
There was some discussion and a real concern with the inconsistency of approving higher
density in this area after the Commission has recently denied HDR and MDR2 requests
just south of this property. There was some discussion concerning this request. If this
request is approved, the Planning Commission would need to consider reopening prior
requests to up zone. A motion was made to deny the request to re -zone this parcel due to
the inconsistency that would be created after prior requests were denied. The re -zone
request is not consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. Dean considered MDR2 as an
option to HDR if the Commission would allow it. The Commission denied the request.
4. On July 30, 2003, Dean Peterson appeared before the City Council to appeal the request
for a zone change from Medium Density Residential (MDR) to High Density Residential
(HDR) or Medium Density Residential 2 (MDR2) on property located at about 330
Pioneer Road. The Council reviewed the requez44br-Planning and Zoning
Commission's decision to deny this request. A motion was made to deny the appeal and
support the Planning Commission's decision.
