The City Council will take up a proposed zone change in East Auburn that would take some 33 acres from the agricultural zone and place it in a residential zone. The petition wasn’t signed by any resident in the neighborhood. Neighbors have used the land for hunting, hiking and other recreation for years with permission from the property owner. Those on the board voting in favor said the surrounding area is already “behaving” like the proposed residential zoning, with a strip of homes along the road that are nonconforming to the agricultural zone they are in.
