Board holds public hearing on zoning change to legalize downtown restaurants
Summary
City staff presented a proposal to rezone a three-parcel downtown building that houses Holloway’s, Simply Grand and Dunbarbecue from CS (Commercial Service and Wholesale) to C-3 (Downtown Commercial) to bring two restaurants into compliance and allow an additional tenant; the Planning Commission unanimously recommended approval July 2.
The Grandview Board of Aldermen opened and closed a public hearing July 8 on a zoning map amendment to rezone the building at 500–5066 Main Street from CS (Commercial Service and Wholesale) to C-3 (Downtown Commercial District).
City staff told the board the property is one building divided by three legal parcels with four tenant spaces, one of which is vacant. Two of the three occupied spaces were not in compliance with the existing CS zoning, staff said, and the requested rezoning would “bridge those two restaurants into compliance” and allow a third tenant to lease the vacant space. Staff also said the rezoning would make Holloway’s a lawful nonconforming use in the C-3 district. The application is supported by the city’s future land-use map in the Grandview comprehensive plan, which staff referenced in the packet materials.
The Planning Commission held a public hearing on July 2 and voted unanimously to recommend approval. Staff recommended approval at the July 8 meeting. No members of the public spoke at the Planning Commission meeting, and no public comments were recorded during the board’s hearing.
Board members did not vote on the rezoning during the July 8 meeting; the item was heard as a public hearing and closed. Any final decision to amend the zoning map would require formal board action at a subsequent meeting.
Because the change would affect permitted uses downtown, staff noted the amendment is intended to align zoning with the city’s comprehensive-plan designation of that area as an urban center. The board did not take public comment on the record during the July 8 hearing and offered no additional conditions during the session.
