Commission approves rezoning at 7630 Potranco Road, access to be from Steadwick
Summary
The commission approved a rezoning of a two-acre corner parcel on Potranco Road to commercial (C-2), with conditions for access and site-plan compliance.
The commission voted to rezone a two-acre corner property at 7630 Potranco Road from R-6 to C-2, approving neighborhood-serving commercial uses and directing the applicant to use Steadwick for primary vehicular access rather than Potranco.
Emily Weiser, representing the property owner, said the site is suitable for restaurants, cafés or other neighborhood-serving businesses and noted the corner location and surrounding commercial uses. Staff recommended denial in favor of an NA alternative based on the Comprehensive Plan’s preferred land-use pattern, but the applicant and commissioners argued the site’s corner location and adjacent commercial parcels made C-2 reasonable for the parcel.
Commissioners asked about access and traffic; the applicant and staff said primary access would be from Steadwick (a side street), and commissioners included that access approach in their approval. The motion to approve was seconded and passed on a roll call.
Why it matters: the rezoning allows neighborhood-serving commercial uses at a prominent corner parcel; approval is contingent on the applicant returning with a conforming site plan that respects setbacks and rear-yard buffers for adjacent residences.
