Council sends request to rezone 0.532 acres south of Naval Street to planning
Summary
A property owner asked to rezone a 0.532‑acre parcel from R‑1 single‑family to R‑5 multifamily; the council voted to refer the request to the planning commission for review.
The St. Marys City Council voted to send a rezoning request for a 0.532‑acre parcel south of Naval Street and west of Apolly Street to the planning commission for review.
The matter matters because the requested change — from R‑1 (single‑family residential) to R‑5 (multifamily residential) — would change the allowed uses on a city parcel and could affect neighborhood density if later approved by the planning commission and council.
Paul (presiding) read the request, describing the parcel as the south half of Naval Street right‑of‑way and a partial tract identified as Track 4, approximately 0.532 acres. The city clerk asked for a motion to send the request to the planning commission. “May I have a motion to send this to plan? Mister Buck?” the presiding officer said; the motion was moved and seconded. The council voice vote was recorded as unanimous “yeses” and the request was referred to the planning commission.
No public testimony on the rezoning was recorded during the meeting segment. The planning commission will review the request and any future council action would be based on the planning commission’s recommendation and any subsequent public hearings.
The council did not adopt a zoning change at this meeting; the action taken was referral to the planning commission for review.
