Lakewood Heights rezone scheduled for Feb. 10 vote

About 1.38 acres in Lakewood Heights would shift to single-family high-density zoning and 1.64 acres to mixed-use under an ordinance scheduled for a Feb. 10 vote. 1

What the records say

In materials published ahead of the Feb. 10, 2025, meeting, the agenda listed an ordinance to affirm the hearing examiner's recommendation for the Lakewood Heights subdivision and rezone, with a recommended motion to adopt the ordinance. 1 The proposed change would rezone about 1.38 acres from Mixed Use to R-6.5 Single Family, High Density, and about 1.64 acres from R-6.5 to Mixed Use, and it would amend the city's official zoning map. 1 R-6.5 is the city's single-family, high-density residential category. 1

Why it matters

Rezoning changes what kinds of development a property can hold. If adopted, the ordinance would shift one Lakewood Heights parcel toward single-family, high-density housing and another toward mixed-use, so residents could see different kinds of building activity on those parcels in the future. The record does not say what is proposed to be built there. 1
