Applicant seeks transitional commercial zoning for 2.2 acres at 175 Wayne Place
Summary
Applicant Matthew Johnson seeks to rezone a 2.2‑acre undeveloped lot at 175 Wayne Place from rural residential to Commercial Transitional (CTR); planning staff and the planning commission recommended supporting a future‑land‑use map amendment to "commercial enclave" to align the maps.
Don Dobbs presented a zoning map and future land‑use amendment request for about 2.2 acres at 175 Wayne Place, south of Spring Street.
The applicant and property owner, Matthew Johnson, applied to rezone Lot 1 of a recent lot split from RR (Rural Residential) to CTR (Commercial Transitional District) for approximately 2.2 acres, Dobbs said. The property currently carries a manufactured‑home overlay and the city’s future land use plan classifies the area as industrial. Planning staff recommended a future land‑use amendment to “commercial enclave” to support CTR zoning, Dobbs said. The planning commission’s findings — summarized to the board — concluded the applicant met standards for compatibility, consistency with the objectives of the zoning code, and that CTR would provide a buffer between residential and industrial uses.
Why it matters: CTR zoning is intended to allow low‑intensity commercial uses that serve as a transition between neighborhoods and higher‑intensity commercial or industrial areas. The board packet will include a use matrix and a notice of whether residents or business owners attended or opposed the application, Dobbs said.
Details: the parcel was divided on Feb. 4, 2025; surrounding zoning includes IMU (Industrial Mixed Use) and RN1 (Residential Neighborhood 1) to the west, RR to the south and IMU to the north and east. The site is in Board District 1. The zoning map amendment is listed as Ordinance O2526 and the future land‑use map change is included with the application. The planning commission recommended approval to the board.
