I. BACKGROUND
The property at RPR6N40E173007 has recently been subdivided. It is a smaller piece of ag land at the
southeast corner of the intersection of E Moody Rd and N 2nd E. Due to an incorrect mailing for an
initial rezone request of the Beehive Federal Credit Union land, Staff looked at this area and reviewed
meetings they have had with developers. It was decided a larger area would be rezoned in conjunction
with Beehhive’s request.
The Rexburg Development Code allows the Commission to make recommendations to the City
Council regarding whether or not the property should or should not be rezoned based on the criteria
found in section §1.04.020.
