Item 112 Postponedunofficial
In plain language — from the agenda backup
This is a public hearing on changing the future land use map for two properties in the Montopolis neighborhood — at 318 Saxon Lane and 6328 El Mirando Street — from Single Family to Multifamily Residential under the Montopolis Neighborhood Plan. The shift matters because it clears the way for denser housing on land currently designated for single-family use. City staff recommend denying the change, while the Planning Commission recommends granting it, setting up a split for council to weigh.
