Council rezones two East Capitol Avenue parcels to allow new restaurant and outdoor patio
Summary
Council approved a rezoning and preliminary PUD plan for 413 and 417 East Capitol Avenue to permit a restaurant and small site improvements, including a relocated driveway and patio; Planning and Zoning had recommended approval 8–0.
The Jefferson City Council approved an ordinance rezoning 413 and 417 East Capitol Avenue from MU‑1 (mixed use) to a Planned Unit Development (PUD) and approved a preliminary PUD plan to allow a restaurant and related site improvements.
Why it matters: The property falls within the East Capitol Avenue historic overlay and the rezoning was necessary because a restaurant is not a permitted use in the underlying zoning district. The applicant plans to remodel the existing building at 413 East Capitol and use the adjacent 417 parcel for a patio, relocate a driveway to the far east side of 417, and use existing rear parking.
Planning background: Planning and Zoning recommended approval by an 8–0 vote. Staff noted only minor site improvements and that the project fits the East Capitol overlay district. No public opposition appeared during the hearing.
Council action: After a brief public hearing and no opposition, councilmembers voted by roll call in favor of the rezoning and preliminary plan; the clerk recorded the ayes and the council approved the measure.
What’s next: The applicant may proceed with remodeling and any required site or building permits. Council and staff noted the project will enhance dining options on Capitol Avenue and fit within the historic overlay’s design constraints.
