Commissioners approve first reading to rezone two city parcels on Goodson Avenue to townhouse district
Summary
On first reading commissioners approved Ordinance 25-1287 to rezone two city-owned parcels on Goodson Avenue from R-1 to RTZ (townhouse at zero lot line); second and final reading expected at the next meeting.
The Board of Commissioners approved on first reading Ordinance 25-1287, which would rezone two city-owned parcels located off Goodson Avenue from R-1 (single-family residential) to RTZ (residential townhouse at zero lot line). Commissioner Jamie Fairbanks Harvey moved approval; Vice Mayor Holly Berry seconded, and the vote was unanimous.
Director Slay told the board the rezoning is part of a property disposition process previously discussed in August and that staff recommended RTZ to allow the “most dense residential development” that staff determined to be the highest and best use for the parcels. Slay said the rezoning is intended to return properties and structures to the tax roll.
The ordinance passed its first reading and the board scheduled a second and final reading at the next September meeting. No public comments were offered during the hearing on the rezoning request.
Discussion versus action: the board approved the ordinance on first reading (formal action). Director Slay also described the broader disposition plan and staff’s evaluation of future development density (discussion). No binding development agreement, site plan, or developer approvals were recorded at the meeting; those would be separate future actions if proposed.
Next steps: the ordinance will be brought back for second and final reading at the board’s next scheduled meeting.
