Council staff recommend conditional R4 rezoning for 2869 Grant to allow ownership housing
Summary
Planning staff reported the owner of 2869 Grant requested rezoning from CP3 (regional commercial) to R4 with a conditional overlay limiting uses to ownership housing types; the planning commission recommended approval and staff said the change would be consistent with the Jefferson Community Plan.
At the Jan. 14 work session, planning staff presented a rezoning request for 2869 Grant (about 10,000 square feet) asking the council to change the property from CP3 (regional commercial) to R4 with a conditional overlay limiting development to owner‑occupied housing types.
Planning Director Barton explained the lot is an isolated CP3 peninsula away from main commercial corridors and said the applicant, Race Hossler, proposed a conditional overlay restricting future development to single‑family, townhomes subdivided for individual ownership, condominiums, or a four‑plex condominium. Barton said the Jefferson Community Plan supports entertaining R4 in this location: “This too was a request from a property owner for, rezone. Race Hossler is the petitioner here.”
Barton told councilors the site sits between single‑family to the south and a commercial structure to the north that has been vacant; he said this makes the parcel a logical candidate for R4 as transitional multifamily or ownership housing. The planning commission recommended approval of the rezone and the development agreement.
Council members asked whether removing the CP3 designation eliminates opportunities for small neighborhood commercial uses such as a coffee shop or barbershop that can add neighborhood character. Barton responded the change would remove that possibility for this parcel specifically but would not remove neighborhood commercial potential from nearby parcels where commercial zoning remains.
Questions about driveway access and whether a shared driveway exists on the lot boundary were raised; Barton said staff will provide property‑line and driveway configuration details for the formal council hearing.
The item was discussed in the work session and will return to the council for formal consideration; planning staff said the petitioner will be available at the public hearing to answer neighbor questions and provide final property line information.
