The Service Committee on Sept. 2 voted to send several proposed zoning changes to the planning commission for public review and recommendation. Items forwarded included: a request to reclassify property identified as parcel 77 (parcel ID 054-242388-00.000) from single‑family residential to multifamily residential; a rezoning request for property listed at 2249 Cherry Valley Road (with a motion to amend the related parcel address to 2205 Cherry Valley Road) from institutional/church to general business for the field property; a request to reclassify 60 Prospect Street from single‑family residential to high intensity business; and a rezoning request for 274 North Cedar Street from limited commercial to multifamily residential. Committee members moved each item and voted to forward them to the planning commission by voice votes, each passing 5-0. A resident asked about future plans for the Cherry Valley location; committee members indicated the items will be scheduled for public hearings before the planning commission. One amendment clarified an address for the Cherry Valley parcel at the request of the property owner and city engineering; that amendment passed by voice vote with no nays before the committee forwarded the ordinance as amended. No zoning changes were finalized at the committee meeting; decisions will be made after planning commission review and subsequent council public hearings.
