Council rezones 1115 11th Avenue West to General Commercial for parking use
Summary
The Oskaloosa City Council approved rezoning 1115 Eleventh Avenue West from R-2 General Residential to G-C General Commercial to allow parking for the Moscow MSO facility; Planning & Zoning recommended approval 8-0 and the council passed the ordinance after a public hearing.
The Oskaloosa City Council approved an ordinance rezoning the property at 1115 Eleventh Avenue West from R-2 General Residential District to G-C General Commercial District after a public hearing. The applicant, listed in the record as Bridal LLC (a Moscow corporation entity), seeks to use the site for parking related to the Moscow MSO facility across the street.
City staff described the triangular, 1.12-acre site as containing several vacant storage buildings and a home; it abuts railroad tracks and has R-2 zoning to the north and west, R-1 to the south and GI zoning to the east. Planning and Zoning recommended approval at its Feb. 4 meeting by an 8-0 vote, according to materials referenced at the hearing.
A councilmember asked whether an existing Buxton home on or near the site had been removed; staff replied it was still being evaluated. No members of the public spoke for or against the rezoning during the hearing.
The council voted by roll call to approve the rezoning ordinance (third reading as listed on the agenda) and place it on the consent agenda (it had unanimous prior votes). The rezoning was approved.
Ending: Staff will complete any required record-keeping and implement the zoning change; the planning memo referenced at the hearing contains additional site-specific considerations.
