Commission hears staff recommendation to rezone 1109 Kenton Street to allow duplexes
Summary
At a public hearing commissioners heard a staff report recommending approval to rezone 0.146 acres at 1109 Kenton Street from CC-2 (Community Commercial) to RM-12 (low-density multifamily) to permit duplexes; city planning recommended approval and no public objections were filed.
A public hearing and staff report recommended that the Springfield City Commission rezone a 0.146-acre parcel at 1109 Kenton Street from CC-2 Community Commercial District to RM-12 (low-density multifamily residence) to permit duplexes.
Staff said the parcel contains a two-unit dwelling built in 1940 that appears unoccupied, with no certificate-of-occupancy record on file, and that the 1975 zoning map showed a limited business designation for the site. The Clark County comprehensive plan characterizes the area as mixed-use low intensity, and staff said the requested RM-12 (also described in staff materials as RHD/high-density residential under the pre-2025 code) aligns with the future character area and with surrounding residential high-density parcels to the south and west.
City planning and zoning staff and the city planning board recommended approval and reported no objections filed before the hearing. A commissioner noted the rezoning could support neighborhood goals to expand entrepreneurial and housing opportunities along major corridors. The hearing record shows the motion to receive the communication and to file the legal notice was made and the rezoning item moved through the formal hearing process with a unanimous roll call vote to adjourn the hearing.
