Monte Vista council approves minor subdivision at 401 Fourth Avenue
Summary
The city council adopted Resolution 2025-06 to subdivide a consolidated parcel at 401 Fourth Avenue into three lots after unanimous recommendation from planning and zoning; no community opposition was reported.
The Monte Vista City Council voted to approve Resolution 2025-06 on March 6, authorizing a minor subdivision of a consolidated parcel at 401 Fourth Avenue into three separate lots.
City staff said the application from property owner Randall Martinez proposed dividing the consolidated block between Fourth and Fifth avenues into three parcels so that a house could be built on the southern parcel. Planning and zoning reviewed the application, held public notice and hearing, and unanimously recommended approval.
Reading the resolution into the record, staff cited the legal description: DeWitt, lots 1, 2, 3 and 4, block 14, Grand View Addition, parcel number 3531359005, which had been consolidated in 1990. The resolution designates the proposed lots as Lot A (1640 Fourth Avenue), Lot B (401 Stello), and Lot C (address to be determined upon request) and attaches a plat map as Exhibit A.
A council member moved to approve Resolution 2025-06; the motion was seconded and the council carried the resolution. No public opposition was recorded at the planning and zoning hearing or at the council meeting; staff characterized the subdivision as a “very clean-cut” request with separate services planned for each lot.
Staff noted a clerical correction after the vote: the application had been filed with the city planner, not the city clerk, as the resolution’s text initially indicated.
Why it matters: The approved minor subdivision returns individually serviced lots to the tax rolls, enabling the property owner to build and convey a separate dwelling on the newly created parcel.
