Rezone near Sunnyside Road tabled after applicant fails to respond to staff
Summary
A proposed rezoning for a vacant lot near Sunnyside Road was tabled after staff reported difficulty contacting the applicant and unanswered questions about future use and utilities; commissioners asked staff to reopen contact before future action.
The Planning Commission voted to table a request to rezone a vacant parcel near Sunnyside Road after staff said the applicant had not maintained communication and key details were not confirmed.
Staff reported the lot currently has no structure and the applicant had discussed multiple options including building a single-family home, creating a dog-grooming business, or splitting the lot to build two homes. Staff told commissioners that either development path would require rezoning to R-1 and that the parcel’s future land use shows R-1; the parcel also abuts R-1 zoning. Staff also noted limited contact with the property owners and that there is no sewer in the area, which prompted commissioners to question proceeding without the owners present.
Members suggested tabling to re-establish contact with the owners so the commission would not force the applicant to repeat the advertising process. A motion to table passed unanimously. Commissioners flagged concerns about road frontage, lot shape for a potential split, and the need to confirm owners’ intentions before proceeding.
The item was tabled to the commission’s next meeting so staff can attempt to re-open communication with the property owners and seek clarification of the owners’ plans.
