Item: Public hearing, presentation, possible action and discussion on a
Rezoning for 2075 North Forest Parkway consisting of approximately 9.95 acres

currently developed as such. The subject property is bound on the north by North

Open. The proposed R-1 land use is in compliance with the City's Plan, thus staff
is recommending approval of this zone change.
Item Background: The subject property was annexed in 1997 and is currently
not platted.
In October 2005, the property just to the north-east of North Forest Parkway
known as the Fojtik tract was recently rezoned from A-O to R-1, which was also
in compliance with the City's Comprehensive Plan.
