Peller Property Land Use Map Amendment
Summary
The Peller family wants the city's future land use map changed so their Peller Road property — just outside city limits in the Town of Lyons — could someday become a mixed-use development. Town residents showed up worried about the change; the applicant's attorney says the tax impact on the town would be tiny. No final decision yet; a joint hearing with the Council is set for December 7.

Impact analysis
The attorney for the Pellers says the town currently collects only about $4,000 a year in property taxes on the land, so any tax shift would be minimal.
The Pellers, if they later seek annexation and mixed-use zoning for the property.
Some Town of Lyons residents who turned out in opposition fear a change to the property's rural character.
