Commission approves Rose Avenue final master plan with variances for lot width and architecture
Summary
The commission approved resolution 2025-016, a final master development plan to subdivide a 0.39-acre lot into two single-family lots in R-6 zoning, granting variances for architecture (less than 70% brickstone), lot width (85 feet vs. required 90 feet total) and alternative landscape plan; one commissioner abstained.
The Gallatin City Planning Commission approved a final master development plan for two single-family detached residences on a roughly 0.39-acre lot on Rose Avenue (resolution 2025-016), granting requested variances for architecture, lot width and an alternative landscape plan.
Staff described the project as two single-family lots on property zoned R-6. Planning staff noted the architecture did not meet the 70% brick requirement and that the proposed lot widths total about 85 feet, short of the R-6 requirement; the applicant requested a 2.5-foot variance on lot width so each lot would measure 42.5 feet.
The applicant’s representative, speaking for Ferguson Greenloop Design, said the team agreed to staff comments and requested the three variances. A staff member observed there are other residential units on the block that also do not meet the 70% brick requirement.
Commission discussion focused on how the subdivision compared to possible higher-density alternatives on the same site and on whether the request would set an undesirable precedent. One commissioner abstained from voting; the motion to approve, which included granting the variances, passed.
The approval permits the applicant to move forward with the final plat and the two single-family lots, subject to normal platting requirements and conditions of approval.
