Planning commission approves rezoning and preliminary plat for Pine View subdivision on Coppinville Road
Summary
The Enterprise Planning Commission voted to rezone 3.59 acres from M2 (general industrial) to R1 (low-density single-family) and approved a five-lot preliminary plat for Pine View subdivision; actions are noted as continuing to city council for final approval.
The Enterprise Planning Commission on March 11 approved a request to rezone 3.59 acres on Coppinville Road from M2 (General Industrial) to R1 (Low-Density Single-Family Residential) and granted preliminary plat approval for the Pine View subdivision.
Commission staff said the rezoning would convert the parcel’s current industrial allowance to a residential designation that matches the surrounding single-family neighborhood and would permit driveway spacing consistent with a collector street. "This is our lowest density single-family residential zoning," Planning staff member Thomas Hardy said, adding that the parcel is currently surrounded by single-family homes and commercial activity.
The rezoning request, submitted by Northstar Engineering on behalf of property owner Richard Bridal, would allow five lots on 3.59 acres. Trent Scribe of Northstar Engineering said Bridal purchased the property and intends to construct single-family houses; he confirmed the request was for an R1 rezoning so residential development would be permitted. The preliminary plat submitted to the commission shows five lots and a 50-foot right-of-way that staff said is intended to preserve a future connection behind the railroad tracks.
The commission voted to approve the rezoning and to recommend approval of the preliminary plat. Public comment was opened for both items; no members of the public spoke. The commission’s approvals were taken by motion, second and voice vote; the motions passed. Commission staff stated the approvals will continue to the city council for final action. The preliminary plat staff report noted that the proposed lots and the fifty-foot right-of-way align with the city’s subdivision regulations and zoning ordinance.
The commission discussion and staff presentation addressed lot widths and driveway spacing, noting that 100-foot-wide lots were proposed to meet driveway spacing requirements on the collector street (referred to in the record as Cottonville Road). The applicant also noted the 50-foot strip was included to preserve possible future access across the railroad corridor if that becomes available.
The approvals recorded at the meeting were procedural votes by show of hands; no roll-call tallies were provided in the transcript. The commission did not record conditions beyond the noted requirement that the items continue to the council for final approval.
Looking ahead, the rezoning and plat will appear before the city council as part of the standard approval process for zoning changes and subdivision plats.
