11. Request for Rehearing – Zoning the Red Tail Ridge Annexation Located at the South End of Buena Vista Drive [File #ANX-2002-230] Attach 11

The petitioners for the Red Tail Ridge Annexation requested that a zoning of RSF-4 be applied to the 9.88 acres. The City Council zoned the property to the RSF-2 zone district on February 19, 2003 following the public hearing on the zoning associated with the annexation.

The petitioner, who was not present at the hearing, requested rehearing of the zoning request in order to present their justification for a RSF-4 zoning on the property. The Council on April 16, 2003, granted the petitioners request and rezoned the site to the RSF-4 zone district.

Adjacent property owners are now requesting that the zoning be reheard again. Their rehearing requests are based on a lack of notice (not required on Council hearing items) and no opportunity for the public to speak after the petitioner’s rebuttal.

Action: Consider Rehearing of the Zoning Request, if Granted, Public Hearing Date will be June 4, 2003
