Commission approves rezoning to allow duplex conversion at 1010 Seventh/Sixth Street South
Summary
A rezoning to allow conversion of a single‑family house into a duplex at 1010 Seventh/Sixth Street South was approved; staff said the change fits the comprehensive plan and recommended approval.
On April 28, 2025, the Planning Commission approved an ordinance amending zoning on a property in the Powell Pogue neighborhood to allow conversion of a single‑family home to a duplex.
Planning staff explained the current owner has held the property for about three years and seeks to convert it to a two‑unit dwelling. Staff told the commission the proposal is consistent with the comprehensive plan’s low‑to‑medium density residential guidance for the Powell Pogue area and recommended approval. The ordinance passed on a motion by Council member Charles, seconded by Commissioner Yeager.
Next steps: the owner will proceed with required permitting for the conversion. The commission noted the importance of following building, parking and code requirements for duplex conversions during the permit review.
