Resident objects as council approves rezoning for 11.44-acre Hutchinson tract on first reading

The council voted to approve first reading of Ordinance 26OZ33 to rezone an 11.44-acre parcel in the Hutchinson/Glenview Farms area from RS-12 (12,000-square-foot minimum lots) to RS-10 (10,000-square-foot minimum), which staff estimated would increase yield from roughly 31 lots to about 37 lots (an increase of 5–6 lots).

Resident Ioana Fauzi of 2505 Suwanee Place spoke in opposition during the public hearing: "If this area is rezoned, that peaceful character will be permanently lost, replaced by significant traffic, congestion, and safety concerns," she said. After hearing no other public speakers, the council closed the hearing and approved first reading by roll call. Staff noted the planning commission had held a prior public hearing and recommended approval.
