Council approves rezoning of 9‑acre tract on Griffin Parkway for mixed commercial and townhouse development
Summary
The council unanimously approved rezoning a 9‑acre property on Griffin Parkway to allow a general business district along the frontage and a townhouse district on the southern portion.
City Council unanimously approved a two‑part rezoning Monday for a 9‑acre tract on the south side of Griffin Parkway east of Holland to allow a mix of commercial frontage and townhouse development.
City planning staff described the request: the northern half of the property facing Griffin Parkway will be rezoned to a general business district (C‑3) and the southern roughly 4.2 acres to a townhouse district (R‑1T). Staff said the site contains two abandoned homes and a shed and noted the property has mature trees the applicant is expected to preserve in line with the comprehensive plan. Planning and Zoning recommended approval unanimously.
Nut graf: The rezoning clears the way for a mixed‑use proposal that places commercial uses along Griffin Parkway and medium‑density residential (townhouses) behind it; no opposition from surrounding property owners was reported.
Council voted to approve the zoning change; the city clerk recorded the ordinance as No. 5661.
Ending: With the ordinance adopted, the applicant may proceed with site planning consistent with the city’s zoning and development review procedures.
