Commission approves rezoning for 329 West Main Street from R1A to RT

The commission approved a zone change for property at 329 West Main Street, moving the site from single-family with accessory dwelling unit (R1A) to Residential Transition (RT).

Planning staff described the site as a corner lot and noted surrounding zoning includes RT on adjacent half-blocks and C1 commercial across Cox Street. Staff said the property's future land-use designation is neighborhood residential, which allows limited commercial in carefully located places, and recommended approval as consistent with the comprehensive plan. The applicant was not present; staff said the applicant requested that if commissioners had concerns, they should continue the case to allow the applicant to attend, but otherwise asked the commission to proceed.

With no public speakers present, a commissioner moved to approve, a second followed and the commission approved the rezoning by raised-hand vote. One commissioner commented that the change appeared appropriate given existing nearby uses and the corner-lot location.

Staff noted the property is described in backup as part of Lot 17 and Lot 18, Block 7, Westland Place Addition. No conditions or additional permit details were specified in the transcript.
