Council introduces multiple rezoning ordinances and a revision to unsafe-structures code; no votes taken
Summary
Council members introduced several ordinances to rezone multiple parcels from B-4 to B.T. to allow single-family residential uses and introduced an amendment to the city27s unsafe-structure code to exclude legally occupied structures with active utilities; all items were introduced only and require future council action.
Jasper City Council members introduced multiple zoning ordinances and a proposed code amendment during the meeting; no final action was taken on these items.
Staff member Brett McCarver presented several rezoning introductions involving parcels in Districts 1 and 4. The items introduced include:
- Rezoning approximately 1.3 acres at 1569 South Jasper from B-1 (Neighborhood Center) to B.T. (Business Transition) to allow single-family residential (District 4). - Rezoning about 1.17 acres at 4402 Kane Road from B-4 (Business District) to B.T. for single-family residential (District 1). - Rezoning a 0.6-acre parcel at 4406 Kane Road from B-4 to B.T. (District 1). - Rezoning a 0.75-acre parcel at 2205 Lakewood Drive from B-4 to B.T. (District 1). - Rezoning approximately 2 acres at 3103 [address transcription unclear] from B-4 to B.T. (District 1).
McCarver stated these items were introductions only and that they had been discussed with Attorney Robertson; they will return for further council consideration after required notices and processing.
Separately, Attorney Robertson introduced an ordinance to amend the city27s ordinance regulating unsafe structures and dangerous buildings. The proposed change would exclude from the definition of a building any structure that is legally occupied by an owner or tenant and that has active water and electric service. Robertson emphasized this was an introduction only and no council action was required at this meeting.
Because the items were introductions only, the council did not vote on final rezoning or code changes during the session. Staff indicated the items had Planning Commission recommendations where applicable and that public-notice requirements will be followed before final readings.
