Commission approves rezoning and subdivision to convert West Second Street duplex into attached single-family lots
Summary
The Planning and Zoning Commission approved a preliminary plat and rezoning Sept. 8 allowing a recently built duplex at 512/514 West Second Street to be subdivided into zero-lot-line, single-family attached lots (R-1C); staff said the proposal meets minimum lot-size requirements and no variance is required.
Sept. 8, 2025 — The Planning and Zoning Commission approved two related actions for 512/514 West Second Street: a preliminary plat and a rezoning that would allow a duplex to be subdivided into separate zero-lot-line, single-family attached lots under the R-1C classification.
Planning staff said the property was built recently as a duplex and that the proposal mirrors other conversions nearby. Staff told commissioners the lot meets the local minimum lot-size requirement of 6,000 square feet, so no variance is needed; only the subdivision and rezoning are required.
Aaron Wagner of BFA Land Surveying, who said his firm prepared similar plats across the street and elsewhere in town, described the project as a “zero lot line” subdivision that places the property line along the shared wall so each unit can be separately titled. Wagner said the change typically helps owners obtain bank financing and can result in lower mortgage costs when the units are sold.
Staff reported they had sent required rezoning notices to neighbors and had not received opposition or calls. Commissioners had no substantive concerns; one commissioner described the proposal as appearing to fit the neighborhood pattern where duplexes exist nearby.
A motion to approve the preliminary plat (file 250903) carried, followed by a separate motion to approve the rezoning (file 250904). Both motions were seconded and approved with no members speaking in opposition.
Next steps: staff said the applicant will record the subdivision and proceed with separate titling of the units once final plat and recording requirements are met.
