Ballard planning panel recommends rezoning of 1920 N 2500 E from A-5 to RA-1

The Ballard Planning Commission voted June 2 to recommend that the City Council approve a zone change for a property at approximately 1920 N 2500 E, moving the parcel from A-5 to RA-1.

The request was presented during a public hearing by property owner Ben Allred. Board Member Mark Redmond moved to close the public hearing and later moved to approve the zone change and forward the recommendation to the City Council; Robin Moran seconded the motion. The motion was recorded as "all in favor." Chairman Joe Allred had announced a conflict and recused himself because a relative appeared on the agenda.

The transcript records no extended deliberation or narrative of conditions attached to the recommendation; the board recorded routine procedural approvals earlier in the meeting, including adoption of the agenda and approval of the May 5, 2026 minutes. No public comments opposing or supporting the rezoning were recorded in the meeting minutes.

The commission’s recommendation to the City Council is advisory; final approval of the zone change rests with the council. The meeting adjourned at 6:15 p.m.
