The Waverly Planning and Zoning Commission recommended on July 3 that the City Council accept a plat of survey that would parcel off 1.15 acres from the property at 933 Sixteenth Street Southwest owned by CUSB Bank.

City planning staff said the surveyed portion, identified in the packet as Parcel LL, would be able to be sold in the future as a commercial development site and would take vehicle access via an easement across the property to the east rather than from the bank parcel. Staff described the application as a straightforward parceling that preserves the bank’s remaining property and creates a separately sellable lot.

The commission debated only briefly and voted by voice to recommend approval; the chair declared the motion passed with no opposition. The motion to recommend approval and apply the survey to City Council was moved and seconded during the meeting.

The commission noted that the owner could later further subdivide adjacent land if they chose to do so, but any subsequent subdivisions would need to return to the appropriate review process. The next formal step is consideration by the City Council; the commission’s recommendation does not itself approve development plans or building permits for the parcel.

Speakers identified in the meeting who addressed this item included Paige (city planning staff) and multiple Planning and Zoning commissioners. Paige presented the application and answered commission questions about access and future subdivision possibilities.

The council will receive the commission’s recommendation at a future meeting for final action.
