If you have comments for uh the item tonight that for the public hearing, we'd ask that you would hold off otherwise.

Uh go ahead and we'll hear your comments.

Is there anybody online?

Awesome.

Go ahead and close public comment.

Move on to the public hearing for a zoning amendment request by Michael Shampton to rezone a 0.684 acre property located at uh that address.

Okay.

Uh hopefully you've had a chance to read the packet staff report.

Um we have received, like you said, we've received an application to rezone from R2 to A1.

Let me show you a map here.

Uh the property is a large one.

Uh a number of years ago, I remember maybe about a decade ago.

Uh there was a a detention basin for the neighborhood here.

And then there was two lots right here.

Or there was a piece of land right here, and they subdivided this and then dedicated this to uh was combined with this property here.

So there's plenty of acreage for A1.

Uh, the probably the biggest conversation, uh the biggest change with the zoning with A1 is you're allowed farm animals.

And there's a point system that we have for animals.

And the basically the the more land you have, the more points you get.

So this property, if you look at the square footage, it has 47 animal points, animal bucks, and you can spend them however you want.

So uh you can see there's they don't have enough points for a pig in case any of the neighbors were worried about that.
