Planning committee recommends denying rezoning for 717–719 W. Fifth North Street
Summary
Planning staff presented a rezoning request for two parcels on West Fifth North Street; the planning commission recommended denial and the committee voted to send the item to full council with a recommendation to deny.
The planning and development committee voted to send a rezoning request for 717 and 719 West Fifth North Street to the full council with a recommendation to deny.
Planning staff (identified as Jessie) told the committee the applicant sought to rezone roughly 0.478 acres from NMX (Neighborhood Mixed Use) to UCMX (Urban Corridor Mixed Use). The Planning Commission held a public hearing on Feb. 24 and recommended denial; commissioners cited proximity to single‑family homes behind the parcels and the middle school across the street, and they concluded UCMX zoning was not appropriate for that location.
At committee, a councilmember moved to forward the item to full council with a recommendation to deny; the motion passed on a voice vote. The committee record did not include any additional conditions or an alternate zoning recommendation. The committee did not vote to rezone — it only forwarded the matter to the full council with the stated recommendation.
Because the Planning Commission and the committee cited school proximity and adjacent single‑family residential as concerns, staff and the committee recommended the full council consider those compatibility issues during its public hearing and vote.
