REZONING REQUEST (PELTIER) Mrs. Martha Peltier, 15367 Everton Ave. N., applied to rezone 100 acres of property from Agricultural to Urban Residential . The property is described as the NE 1/4 of the SE 1/4 of Sec. 18, T3 IN, R21 W. The Planning Commission conducted a public hearing on the application at their regular meeting on July 28, 1999. The rezoning was also the subject of discussion at two planning workshops held on September 9 and September 23, 1999. The Planning Commission recommended approval of the rezoning at their regular meeting of October 27, 1999, as it is in conformance with the City's Comprehensive Plan, and it fits in with other proposed development activities in the area.
