City Council - Regular Evening Meeting — October 13, 2026
A developer sought to rezone 0.34 acres to build four homes at densities over 11 units per acre, far above the neighborhood plan's vision. The denial preserves the semi-rural character but means Taft Street sidewalk and road improvements the developer offered won't happen through this project.
Planning and Zoning Commission - Commission Meeting — July 6, 2026
A developer wants to rezone a third of an acre on Taft Street to squeeze in four lots — over 11 units per acre in an area whose neighborhood plan envisions about four. Staff says the plan hasn't changed and recommends denial; the developer counters that the project would finally bring sidewalks to a stretch of Taft Street residents have wanted for decades.
Planning and Zoning Commission - Commission Meeting — June 1, 2026
A small-lot rezoning from suburban to traditional residential standards at 4432 W Taft St was postponed because the site wasn't properly posted for notice. Neighbors will have their say at the July 6 hearing.

CR 26-2 Taft Street rezone
The denial keeps the property at a density of one home plus two ADUs (or a fourplex with incentives), preserving the Sycamore Overlay's semi-rural vision but forgoing the developer's offered Taft Street widening, sidewalks, and two-story limit.
Matson Homes rezone
If approved, the corner of Taft Street would see four new homes plus sidewalks and a crosswalk; opponents say it's too dense for the Sycamore overlay.
