Staff recommends rezoning two city‑owned parcels to increase residential density ahead of sale
Summary
City staff recommended rezoning two Red Bank parcels from R‑1 to RTZ to encourage higher‑density residential development when the properties are sold; the planning commission recommended the change and staff will prepare an RFP and disposition process.
City staff presented an ordinance to rezone two city‑owned parcels (parcel numbers referenced in the agenda) from R‑1 to RTZ with the objective of encouraging higher‑density residential development once the parcels are sold. Director Slay said the review is part of a broader inventory of city‑owned property to determine highest and best uses. Staff and the planning commission recommend rezoning the parcels to guide potential higher‑density residential options and to align with the city’s disposition ordinance. Slay said staff will prepare an RFP consistent with the disposition process for future commission consideration and asked whether the commission wants to attach conditions to potential sales. Why this matters: rezoning can alter development potential and fiscal return for city property disposition. Staff said the change is an initial step to set development expectations before soliciting offers; the transcript records staff presentation and planning commission recommendation but does not include a recorded vote in the work session excerpt.
