Commission recommends SmartCode‑5 for Immaculate Conception Chapel property
The Planning and Zoning Commission voted unanimously to recommend changing the Immaculate Conception Chapel property from SC‑4 to SC‑5, citing compatibility with surrounding SmartCode‑5 zoning and potential to support the historic city center; the recommendation goes to city council for final action.
The full story
The commission recommended that city council approve a zone change for the Immaculate Conception Chapel property—about 4.44 acres—from SmartCode‑4 to SmartCode‑5. Ethan Porter, a city planner, told commissioners that SC‑5 permits greater intensity and density than SC‑4, aligns with what exists along 4th Street and supports city‑center redevelopment goals. He said SC‑5 allows higher lot coverage and more units per acre and that the property is consistent with comp plan goals to sustain a historic city center.
