Mr.

Kearns, your presentation, please.

Thank you, Mr.

Chairman.

This is the same property from the previous item, but in regard to the zone change.

The subject property measures 0.35 acres and is developed with a single family home.

This request is to rezone the old golf course portion of the property from golf course to residential estates, so it will match the balance of the residential law.

This will permit the property owner to use the added golf course land for residential uses and accessory structures that would not be permitted in the current zoning.

The rezone will allow the property owner to apply the residential estates building setbacks and uses to the entire combined property.

This rezone request complies with the required findings of the development code.

This item is scheduled to be heard by the city council at its December 9th, 2025 meeting.

Any questions of staff by commissioners?

Hearing none, the applicants present.
