Council OKs rezoning at 2010 E. Powhatan to Seminole Heights multifamily despite two no votes
Summary
Council approved first reading to rezone 2010 East Powhatan Avenue from Seminole Heights single‑family to Seminole Heights multifamily. The applicant said the change preserves the existing house frame and minimizes tree removals; two council members voted against the measure.
The City Council approved first reading for a rezoning at 2010 East Powhatan Avenue that converts the parcel from Seminole Heights residential single‑family (SHRS) to Seminole Heights residential multifamily (SHRM).
Planning staff said the site is within the Seminole Heights Urban Village and that multifamily on this underutilized parcel would add housing choices near transit while recommending design guidelines that orient front doors to East Powhatan to meet overlay policies. Development Coordination staff noted the immediate block contains mostly single‑story single‑family homes and provided an analysis showing the broader study area includes many wider lots; staff ultimately found the request inconsistent with the broader conforming map but the council approved the rezoning.
