ON THE AGENDA

Here are some of the issues the council will consider Monday.

MYRAN DRIVE HOUSE

The council will consider an appeal from Councilmember Chris Steel

of the Planning Commission’s approval of the construction of a

two-story house on Myran Drive. Steel’s appeal contains three issues

ranging from privacy rights of neighbors to concern about the

protection of trees.

This is the second appeal of this project. After initial approval

by the zoning administrator, Planning Commissioner Katrina Foley

appealed, prompting the commission to consider the project and

ultimately give its approval as well.

WHAT TO EXPECT

The commission’s ruling will probably not be overturned since the

project complies with the necessary development standards and

residential design guidelines.

SECOND READING OF LAW TO REZONE PROPERTY

The council will conduct a second reading of a law for the rezone

of 2436 Newport Blvd. to medium-density, multi-family residential.

On July 6, the council first approved a rezone petition for the

property. The existing facilities include an office building and a

storage building. The council put a condition on the rezone that any

project developed for the site has to be for-sale housing as opposed

to apartments.

WHAT TO EXPECT

The council will likely finalize the approval of the rezone

because of its prior requirement for for-sale housing.
