Board approves rezoning and narrow-lot variance to allow single-family home at odd-shaped lot
Summary
The planning board approved rezoning to R‑1B and granted a variance for a slight lot‑width deficiency so a buyer can build a single‑family residence on a recently split parcel.
The Planning and Zoning Board voted to rezone a recently sold, irregularly shaped parcel to R‑1B and to grant a companion variance for a substandard lot width so the new owner may construct a single‑family dwelling.
City staff said the lot sits between R‑1B residential parcels and C‑2 commercial parcels; the surrounding homes are R‑1B. The lot is narrower at the front than code requires — staff said it measures about a foot shy of the 60‑foot minimum at the setback — but has total square footage larger than many nearby residential parcels.
Staff published notice and said one neighbor contacted the department with questions but did not take a position in writing. After a brief public hearing with no speakers for or against, board members said the rezoning fit the neighborhood and moved to approve the rezoning (RZ202506). The board then opened and approved the variance (Victor202506) to reduce the minimum lot width at the setback by approximately a foot.
Both actions passed on voice votes with no recorded opposition. The board’s approvals were based on staff recommendations and the record of public notice; final administrative steps include recording the rezoning and processing permits if the owner submits building plans.
