Planning commission recommends rezoning 9.5 acres at 809 N. Ninth St. to C-2
Summary
The Ozark City Planning and Zoning Commission on Feb. 24 recommended approval of Zoning Amendment 24-00012 to rezone about 9.5 acres at 809 North Ninth Street from R‑1C single-family to C‑2 general commercial, citing guidance from the Onward Ozark corridor plan and noting future development would require additional approvals.
The Ozark City Planning and Zoning Commission on Feb. 24 voted to recommend approval of Zoning Amendment 24-00012, which would change roughly 9.5 acres at 809 North Ninth Street from R‑1C single-family zoning to C‑2 general commercial.
Planning staff said the parcel sits north of the Ozark Senior Center, east of the high‑school campus and adjacent to Findlay Farms facilities. "Yes. Good evening. This is a rezone request to rezone, as you said. 9 and a half acres of land located at 8099 North Ninth Street from R 1 C Single Family to C 2 General Commercial," said Randall Whitman, planning staff, during the hearing.
Staff told the commission it used the Onward Ozark corridor plan for guidance on future land‑use recommendations. Whitman said the corridor plan recommends a general mixed‑use designation for the site, which includes commercial uses. "The forecasted future use of this property from the Onward Ozark plan recommends this property be, be mixed use general mixed use, which... includes commercial," Whitman said. He added that C‑2 zoning does not allow residential uses, a distinction commissioners asked about during discussion.
Chris Ball of Ball Architect, representing the property owners, said the owners are weighing options. "They're trying to weigh their options whether they wanna develop or sell the property, but at this point, we'd like to rezone it to match some of the adjacent zoning commercial," Ball said.
Staff reported no comments were submitted at the neighborhood meeting, that public notice requirements were met, and recommended approval. Commissioners noted that any future project would still require a preliminary plat and additional permits before development could occur.
Commissioner Adam Goldberg moved to recommend approval "as presented in the staff report." The motion passed on a unanimous roll-call vote: Andrew Brewer, Adam Goldberg, Nathan Goldberg, Susan David, David (surname not specified on the record), Jeff Peterson and Kendall Burrow voted aye. The commission’s recommendation will proceed to the Board of Aldermen for final action.
The record shows the commission considered both the city’s earlier comprehensive plan and the Onward Ozark corridor plan when making its recommendation.
