Highland freezes application process for new zone February 20, 2017, 3:19 pmThose residents are objecting to some of the areas where that zone is being approved, particularly in one instance where it was approved for a new development called Oakridge near Ridgeline Elementary. The residents attempted to file a referendum petition on that particular approval but failed to get enough signatures by the required deadline, City Administrator Nathan Crane said. Some residents feel that the city's R-1-40 zone, which allows an average of 40,000 square feet per lot in a residential development, should be the standard. Many residents feel that the city has not been listening to their concerns about this issue, resident Teri German told the City Council. Neil Evans said he had spoken with 15 other residents who were all "overwhelmingly" in support of the R-1-40 zoning. Now, a joint meeting of the City Council and planning commission regarding the issue is planned for March 14. At that meeting, city officials hope to figure out the most appropriate areas in the city to allow that zone. The city has polled residents about their preferences regarding zoning, density, and lot size issue in a citywide survey the results of which are expected in the coming weeks. City officials say after that input and the joint meeting, the City Council may come to a determination before the six months expires. If that happens, the moratorium will be lifted. Proposals already submitted and under review would not be affected by the moratorium.
