Votes and actions: planning commission meeting — tower approved; rezoning recommended denied

Key actions from the El Dorado Planning and Zoning Commission meeting:

1) Case 26-02-SUP — 1590 Southwest Boyer Road (150-foot monopole): Motion to recommend approval based on the staff report and Butler County recommendation. Roll-call vote: motion passed; recommendation forwarded as required.

2) Case 26-04-REZ — 229 North Washington (rezoning R-2 to R-3): Motion to recommend denial; roll-call vote recorded a majority in favor of denial. Because rezoning was recommended denied, the commission did not take a vote on the related special use permit for transitional housing.

Other notes: staff and the applicant for the transitional housing application discussed a comprehensive management plan and 42 recommended conditions; neighbors voiced concerns about crime, parking and property values. The commission discussed packet timing and information distribution for future meetings and then adjourned.
