A short discussion was held by the committee to consider if undeveloped land in the industrial park located along U.S. Highway 89-91 in Nibley should be zoned to accommodate multiple family housing. "This is a natural location for the higher density zone," said Larry Anhder, city manager. The area located along the highway is already zoned for commercial use, but there is a section of land between the commercial zone and the residential zone that could be dedicated to high density, multiple family developments, Anhder said. Locating multiple housing units in this area would have little affect on the east side of town since most residents of the area would access the highway for all travel, Anhder said. "I think it would make for a very good development to design everything to the west of 1200 West be considered high density living and commercial use," Anhder said. Density is something the committee needs to consider while planning and zoning the community, Anhder said. The committee must make good use of the land that is available in the city and vary different size lots to maximize those resources, he said. To have a greater variety of lot sizes available in the city would provide more choices for those who have different housing needs due to size of family and income levels, Anhder said. "Half-acre lots are our standard size lot in Nibley, anywhere else that is huge," Anhder said. In other business, the committee approved a conditional use permit and business license for Brannon Zollinger to operate an Internet scrapbook supply company from her home located at 1272 W. 3200 South in Nibley. "My sole purpose is to be able to work completely out of my home from my Internet site," Zollinger said. For now, Zollinger said, her plan is to use the home as an office and only service customers by mailing items ordered on the website. She said as the business grows, she plans to move into Logan and operate from a public store front.
