Dear Mr. Hibbert,
The East Main Street Neighborhood Association would like to request that the Rexburg Planning and Zoning Commission
and the City Council amend the Comprehensive Plan Land Use Plan to better reflect future development in our
neighborhood.
We are requesting that you change the land -use designation from Commercial to both Single Family Residential and
Multi -Family Residential (see attached map). Our association believes this reflects the desires of most residents within our
association boundaries, and is also in the best interests for future development of the entire city.
We believe this older residential area of the city is a valuable resource to the city. Besides providing reasonably -priced,
single-family housing for middle income residents of the city, it is a well intact area of historic and older homes with
various architectural styles. This residential area. is conveniently located within walking distance from the downtown
business district, providing easy access to retail stores, offices, places of employment, schools, churches, and Smith Park.
The three -block area in question includes currently zoned residential areas within the East Main Neighborhood
Association, which runs from Second East to Ash Streets and from First North to First South streets. It excludes areas that
currently are within the Commercial Business Zone and Highway Business Zone.
Sincerely,
Raymond Hill
President
