Staff Update
(1:05 p.m.)

Community Development Assistant Director Mike Gottfredson explained that Jonathan Wilkerson owns a 5.00-acre parcel on the corner of 1125 South and 3800 West, west of Roosevelt in the Cove Estates Subdivision on Lot 25. He is requesting this rezone to allow for a home or housing to be built on the property. The Industrial Zoning District prohibits residential development.

Changing the zoning would be consistent with the surrounding properties. Even with the technical zoning change for this property, no actual change in land use is anticipated from the rezone.

On February 4, 2026, the Planning Commission held a public hearing to consider this request, reviewed and adopted the findings of fact prepared by the Planning Division, and unanimously recommended the approval of this rezone.

Assistant Director Gottfredson presented the Findings of Fact and a map showing the parcel and the surrounding parcels, with their zoning districts.
