Motion to Approve: Moghaddam

Vote: 4 to 0 (unanimous) Motion Carried
Miller explained that the adoption of the new official zoning map does not change any
current zoning. Adoption of the new map just allows the table of zone changes currently
listed on the map, but already incorporated on the map, to be removed. Once this new
map is adopted, a new table will be added to the newly adopted map to reflect zone
changes approved after its adoption.

Single Family Residential – Estate zoning

pending zone change applications. The Commission also discussed the possibility of
forming a committee consisting of three P & Z Commissioners to further discuss SFR-E

An additional discussion was held regarding the fact that the city does not enforce deed

associations and/or property owners.
