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.

SITE DESCRIPTION The property is located on the corner of N 2nd E and E Moody Rd and along N 2nd E moving south to Stationery Rd.
