Council to consider rezoning for WVU Medicine Eye Institute and parking garage at next meeting
Summary
City planning staff said the Morgantown Planning Commission approved site and subdivision applications from WVU Hospitals to develop an Eye Institute and parking garage, and requested council rezone two Seventh Ward parcels to B-2 to facilitate the project.
Planning staff told the Committee of the Whole on Feb. 25 that WVU Hospitals, Inc. submitted a minor-subdivision, rezoning and Type 3 significant-impact site plan to facilitate construction of a new Eye Institute and a parking garage along Van Voorhis Road.
Staff said the Planning Commission approved the applications and that the ordinance before council would rezone two parcels in the Seventh Ward to B-2 (service business). One parcel to the north of the new fire-station access drive contains mixed O-I and R-1 zoning; the southern parcel currently is O-I/B-2 and the applicant requests both parcels be zoned B-2 to accommodate the project. Staff noted land owned by the Morgantown Building Commission will remain O-I and is not part of the rezoning.
Planning staff requested the ordinance be placed on the City Council agenda for first reading at the next regular meeting for consideration. A council member moved to advance the ordinance to the next meeting; staff asked for follow-up questions and a representative said detailed exhibits in the packet show lot boundaries and existing zoning.
