I. BACKGROUND
The properties are existing lots in the Pine Brook Division 2 subdivision. May 2, 2007, City Council
received a heads up for the Pine Brook Annexation. In 2007, an application was received to annex Pine
Brook Division 1 and the land that would be Pine Brook Division 2 into the city (07-00209) and
rezoned DIV1 to Rural Residential 1 (RR1). December 19, 2007, City Council approved the annexation
and rezone of Pine Brook Division 2 to Rural Residential 2 (RR2), changing the portion against Hwy 20
from Low-Density Residential 1 (LDR1) to RR2. In 2008, a Final Plat was approved for Pine Brook
Division 2 (08-00116). Since 2013, several single-family homes have been built.
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.
