Prineville planning director seeks council sign‑off on a small comp‑plan map correction for Second Street property
Summary
Planning staff requested a non‑hearing affirmation of a comprehensive plan map amendment to change one property at the end of Second Street from residential to commercial so a proposed commercial development can apply for permits; council asked staff to return with an ordinance at the next meeting.
Joshua Smith, Prineville planning director, asked the City Council to accept the Planning Commission's recommendation for a comprehensive plan map amendment covering properties from the library to the end of Second Street, correcting a mismatch between the comprehensive plan and zoning maps.
"It's just a simple map, simple comp plan amendment to the end of Second Street," Smith said, explaining that the property owner at the end of Second Street wants to proceed with a commercial development but cannot apply until the comprehensive plan designation matches the zoning. Smith said the underlying zoning (C‑2) would remain unchanged; the amendment would change only the comprehensive plan designation from residential to commercial so the two maps align.
Smith told the council the Planning Commission received no opposition and no public comments on the amendment. Because this is not a public hearing item, Smith said the council could allow the Planning Commission decision to stand and staff would bring an ordinance to the next council meeting; if the council preferred, a hearing could be requested. After brief discussion, the council indicated no public hearing was desired and staff said it would return with an ordinance at the next meeting.
Ending — Staff will prepare an ordinance to adopt the comp‑plan map amendment for council consideration at the next regular meeting; no public hearing was requested at this time.
