City of Pullman councilmembers voted 6-1 to reject the proposed annexation of a 48.3-acre lot during a meeting Tuesday night.
About 15 residents made public comments at the last council meeting in opposition to the proposal. The lot, requested by Frank Motley of Two-GM and Bob Perdue of Nelson Partners, is near SE Johnson Road just south of SR 270 and north of Old Moscow Road.
The council also requested the Pullman Planning Commission reevaluate pre-zoned areas surrounding Pullman. The commission will then hold a public hearing to inform a recommendation for an updated pre-zone map.
The land was zoned as an R3 residential area in 2013 by the city. Councilmember Dan Records said land buyers usually take into consideration the pre-zone designation before purchasing lots for future development and projects.

Megan Guido, a 30-year Pullman resident, declared Tuesday she is running for Pullman City Council this year to replace Brandon Chapman in the Ward 3 seat.
In her written announcement Guido wrote she is running because âPullman needs proactive governance and inclusive leadership.â
âThe world is changing, whether it is the economy, COVID-19, or social justice issues,â she said. âWe can see those changes right here in our own city. We need to proactively look at how these changes impact the community we live in and love.â
Guido worked for 21 years at Pullman Regional Hospital in administration and served as the public information officer before leaving earlier this year to start a coaching business for healthcare workers and other professionals.
