City Council Considers First Reading of Zoning Amendment for Elmwood Area

In a recent City Council meeting, the Sheridan City Council approved an ordinance for rezoning 31.8 acres of unplotted property located on the 900 block of East 5th Street. The rezoning, however, has not yet taken effect.

The City Planner, Kelly Schroeder, stated that the applicant is seeking the rezone for multi-family residential and potential future commercial use. The property, currently in the R-1 Residence District, will be changed to the B-1 Business District, which allows for both residential and commercial use.

Despite the approval on first reading, the rezoning requires approval from the City Council two more times before it becomes official. The City Council did not decide on the final approval at the meeting.

The meeting also included discussions about deannexing and annexing properties near Kendrick Municipal Golf Course. The City Council gave second reading approval for an ordinance to deannex 3.64 acres of property and annex 4.15 acres of property near the golf course.

It's important to note that the rezoning, deannexing, and annexing discussions are separate from each other. The search results do not contain information about the name of the applicant who applied for rezoning the property on East 5th Street.

The rezoning could potentially allow for commercial use in the future. However, no further details about the rezoning were provided in this paragraph.

The City Council meeting is expected to be covered in future stories, providing more insight into these significant changes in the city's urban planning. Stay tuned for updates on this developing story.
