Planning Commission approves rezoning of 211 West Caldwell from R‑2 to C‑2
Summary
The McMinnville Planning Commission approved a rezoning request for 211 West Caldwell from R‑2 to C‑2 to enable commercial uses such as a coffee shop and taproom; the applicant was not present at the hearing.
The McMinnville Planning Commission voted to approve rezoning for the property at 211 West Caldwell from R‑2 to C‑2.
No applicant representative appeared at the meeting. City staff member Sean said the property could accommodate mixed commercial uses inside the building, mentioning that a potential tenant was considering a coffee shop and taproom. Staff also noted the site had previously been associated with commercial uses and that rezoning to C‑2 would put it adjacent to existing commercial zoning. "The city will get more property tax at commercial rates," a participant said during the discussion when explaining one implication of the change.
A commissioner moved to approve the rezoning, another commissioner seconded, and the motion carried by voice vote. The commission noted that the property is no longer in the city's historic overlay (the transcript records that it is "out of historic building"), and staff said they had not received neighborhood comments opposing the rezoning.
