Planning & Zoning Board April 14, 2021 Page 2 APPROVED MINUTES VI. ACTION ITEMS A. PUBLIC HEARING: Butler Addition Rezoning and Preliminary Plat Ms. Larsen, City Planner, presented the staff report. The applicant, Scott Butler, submitted a land use application for rezoning and preliminary plat for Butler Addition.
