Lamar council approves first reading to rezone Floyd Valley Apartments to R‑2
Summary
Council approved first reading of Ordinance 999 to rezone 11010 Sixth Avenue NE from R‑1 single‑family to R‑2 multifamily after a public hearing with no public comments; administration and the Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval.
The Lamar City Council approved the first reading of Ordinance 999 on Oct. 7 to change the zoning for the property at 11010 Sixth Avenue Northeast from R‑1 (residential single‑family) to R‑2 (residential multifamily).
City staff said the council set the Oct. 7 hearing at its Sept. 16 meeting and opened the public hearing for comment; no members of the public spoke. "Administration and the Planning and Zoning Commission recommend council approval," a city staff member told the council before a motion to approve first reading was made and seconded.
Council conducted a roll‑call vote on the ordinance. Burns, Hick, Goodchild, Wick and Sturgeon were recorded voting yes. The motion carried and Ordinance 999 passed first reading.
The hearing record states the property is currently zoned R‑1 and that the requested reclassification is to R‑2. The council did not receive public comment during the hearing; council members did not add further conditions during the Oct. 7 action. The Planning and Zoning Commission and city administration provided the recommendation but the record does not include additional findings or a staff report in the excerpt available.
The ordinance will typically require additional readings or administrative steps before the rezoning becomes final; the council’s Oct. 7 action was the first reading only.
