Major streets shown include W Highway 12, NW Cowan Avenue, NW Holland Avenue, N Center Street, NE Morrow Avenue, NE Duke Hill Road, and NE 18th Avenue. A red hand‑drawn outline highlights a rectangular area near the center of the map, located just south of NW Cowan Avenue, west of N Center Street, and north of NW Holland Avenue.

Community Development staff reviewed the request in relation to the newly approved Future Land Use Map, surrounding zoning, and existing development. Staff determined that the proposed R-1 zoning is consistent with the City’s future land use designation and surrounding development pattern.

The Council’s approval of the rezoning does not authorize construction or approve a subdivision, drainage plan, or development plans. Any future development must proceed through the City’s normal review process and comply with applicable subdivision regulations, drainage requirements, infrastructure standards, and building codes.
