Council reviews rezoning request for 1.532-acre parcel on Nagle Street
Summary
City officials discussed Ordinance 2025-16 to rezone a 1.532-acre parcel on Nagle Street from single-family to multi-family use; the planning commission recommended approval with deed restrictions limiting height to two stories after a June 24 public hearing.
City of Saint Mary's council members discussed Ordinance 2025-16, a proposal to rezone a 1.532-acre parcel along Nagle Street from R-1 (single-family residential) to R-5 (multi-family residential).
The planning commission held a public hearing on June 24 and recommended approval with deed restrictions, including a two-story height limit, the council was told. "The planning commission supports this, but it supports it with the deed restrictions," a city staff member said during the meeting.
According to the staff presentation, the property is located in the northwest corner of Section 4 in Saint Mary's Township and sits just west of a turf area and Black Oak Apartments. The ordinance text referenced deed restrictions recorded in the property deed; as a staff member explained, "it means that it's part of the deed. So regardless of who the owner is, it stays on the deed itself."
Councilors asked for clarification about the restrictions and whether they run with the land; the staff member said the restrictions must remain on the deed so future owners will be bound by them. The transcript shows no recorded vote or formal adoption of Ordinance 2025-16 during the portion of the meeting provided.
No timeline for development or subsequent council action was recorded in the transcript. The planning commission's recommendation and the deed restrictions were the primary details reported to the council during the discussion.
The city clerk or staff are expected to present any ordinance amendments or a formal vote at a later council meeting if the council elects to proceed, but that next step was not specified in the available transcript.
