Council approves rezoning and general‑plan cleanup for Scenic Mountain area

The council approved an ordinance to rezone parcels in the Scenic Mountain area and amend the city's Future Land Use map so legacy zoning labels are updated to current code categories. Planning staff explained the exercise is a code cleanup that makes day‑to‑day land‑use administration easier; the planning commission recommended approval.

The rezoning affects roughly 200 parcels, converting obsolete zone labels to current categories (neighborhood residential, multifamily, civic/open space). The council opened the public hearing and, seeing no speakers, closed it and voted to adopt the ordinance with the chart of affected properties and the corresponding general‑plan amendments.

What’s next: staff will implement the zone map changes in planning materials and update public records so developers and residents can reference current code setbacks and standards.
