Splitting land into smaller lots for homes, businesses, or parks

Watch for any follow-up permits or site plans on the newly rezoned lots, and for whether Sandy Bay Highlands expansion talk turns into a formal subdivision proposal.

Typically discussed at Plan Commission. Check back when the next agenda is published.

Two newly created lots tied to Renew Church’s land division at/near 3204 Lincoln Ave were rezoned from IPF to R-3 housing on an 8-0 Council vote. The city described it as fixing a zoning mismatch after the property was split, and no residents spoke at the public hearing.
