Rezone Ordinance Considered by Council on Second Reading

The Sheridan City Council met for their first regular business meeting of November Monday night. Sheridan Media’s Ron Richter has the details.

Second reading of an ordinance to rezone 26.3 acres at 4250 Yellowtail Drive in Sheridan from a Higher Education District and R-3 Residence District to a B-2 Business District, was approved by the Council. City Planning Director Kelly Schroeder says the applicant intends to build a church on the property.

Schroeder said the parcel was zoned Higher Education when it was annexed into the City in 2013 with the intent of building a First People’s Center for Education on the property. She added that the original vision of the education facility never materialized and the Higher Education zoning limits what the property can be used for. The ordinance must be approved one more time by the City Council before it would take effect.
