Item A, ordinance 12, 2026-27. Thank you, Mayor. Good afternoon, City Council. We have a couple zoning cases and one zoning amendment before you today. The first case is Z28 2026 from the Planning Commission. This is the application of Blick Homes LLC. This is.33 acres, currently zoned RM1, which is single family or mobile home residential district, and requesting to go to R2A single family residential district. It's a parcel of land at the north frontage of Eva Drive, approximately 133 feet east of Bretton Springs Road in the EVA Drive intersection. It's currently a vacant lot with mild topography. This is in council ward number three. And the applicant statement is they would like to subdivide this into two lots. This attempted a little over a year ago to go to R3 instead. It was supported by the RPC but denied by the council, so they've backed their requests down to R2A this time. This is the future land use map showing an urban neighborhood to the north and suburban neighborhood in the yellow. And this is the current zoning map. Which RM1 allows for either a single-wide mobile home or a conventionally built home, and a lot of R4 to the north there. This is the property in question today. The home does sit on the property requesting rezoning. So they did build one home on the property. And what they're requesting is basically this half of the lot to build another equally or similar home to the left of it. They left enough room when they built the first home that if they could ever rezone it and subdivide it, they could get two homes on the lot. This is looking down towards Britain Springs Road from the second lot. And looking back up the road, that's the driveway of the current property that was uh built. All right, department comments. Uh no department comments or concerns in the school provided the capacities of their schools listed. They did update they did update those for us this month, and we do expect another update in October or November when they count their 40th day population. Uh historical estimates would be two lots. Again, you already have an existing home on there, so just one additional home. Staff does recommend approval. The request is consistent with the overall goals and objectives of the comprehensive plan. The request aligns with the future land use designation of suburban neighborhood and the proposed R2A district is in character with the surrounding development pattern for the area. The planning commission also recommended for approval. Thank you, Mr. Tyndall. Any questions regarding this zoning case? Councilman Brown, you recognized. Thank you, Mayor. Um we go back to the picture of the house that's currently there. So there's no sidewalks currently would disrequire them to put in a sidewalk in front of those. Two lot minor plates would not require sidewalk. And do we know if this is in this area where we have this ordinance later on about Jordan and Eva sidewalk project at this eminent domain? No. So this is not in that area either. No,
