Council approves rezoning for 2202 Roanoke Avenue SW to Mixed‑Use
Summary
Roanoke City Council voted unanimously April 21 to rezone 2202 Roanoke Avenue SW from Institutional to Mixed‑Use with conditions; City Planning Commission had recommended approval and no citizens spoke against the request.
Roanoke City Council on April 21 approved an ordinance rezoning property at 2202 Roanoke Avenue SW (tax map number 1421308) from IN (Institutional District) to MX (Mixed‑Use District) with a condition proffered by the applicant.
City staff noted the City Planning Commission recommended approval. Ben Crew of Walter and Associates, the agent for the applicant Boundless Capital LLC, attended and identified the property owners; no members of the public spoke at the public hearing. The council moved and seconded the ordinance, the clerk read the title paragraph, and the council adopted the ordinance by roll call (see Votes at a glance below).

Ben Crew, representing the applicant, told council the owners were present and offered to answer questions; council had none and opened and closed the public hearing when no one from the public indicated a wish to speak.
