Commissioners hear interest in converting underused HTLI parcels to residential or mixed use
Summary
High‑tech/light industrial (HTLI) areas in the city were described as largely undeveloped or misaligned with surrounding uses; property owners have asked about converting some HTLI parcels to residential or mixed uses and commissioners asked staff to consult owners and return with options.
Staff described the High‑Tech Light Industrial (HTLI) designation as an underutilized zone where little development has occurred and where existing surrounding uses (daycare, single‑family housing, older apartments) may be inconsistent with the intent of HTLI.
Commissioners said property owners have expressed interest in converting portions of HTLI to residential or mixed‑use and asked staff to reach out to those owners. Staff noted one property owner already sought a split‑zone approach to retain HTLI frontage while developing the rear portion as residential; staff said that approach or more comprehensive rezoning to CMU/HC could be evaluated.
Ending: Staff will contact property owners the commission identified and return with options and potential schematic concepts (split zoning, rezoning, or master plan) for commission review.
