comment and consider adopting an ordinance that would amend the zoning map
and Central Community Master Plan for properties located at 159 South Lincoln

would change the properties from R-2 (Single and Two-Family Residential)to

district with similar characteristics.Other sections of Title 21A –Zoning may also
be amended as part of this petition.Petition No.:PLNPCM2019-00683 and

2.Ordinance:Rezone at 1301 and 1321 South State Street
The Council will set the date of Tuesday,March 2,2021 at 7 p.m.to accept public
comment and consider adopting an ordinance to rezone the properties at 1301 and

for a new mixed-use building,which would replace existing buildings on the
parcels.Consideration may be given to rezoning the property to another zoning
district with similar characteristics.Other sections of Title 21A –Zoning may also
be amended as part of this petition.Petition No.:PLNPCM2020-00328
