Planning staff presented case Z472025 seeking to rezone a 0.62-acre property on Madison Street from R4 multiple-family residential to C2 General Commercial to permit a Tiny Mother's general store — described by the applicant as a year‑round retail farmers-market-style store serving local farmers and businesses and easing food‑desert concerns.
Staff said the parcel sits in the urban core and the Historic (H1) overlay will remain; the property previously housed bookkeeping and academy uses and the Historic Zoning Commission gave a favorable opinion. Sidewalks exist or are required as applicable and the site has shared driveway access and off‑street parking arrangements under current ownership. Staff recommended approval and the planning commission recommended approval.
Council members who spoke supported the adaptive reuse and noted the applicant’s outreach and materials in the packet. Councilman Brown said he remembered the site and supported preserving use that keeps the structure in active commercial service, and Councilman Streetman called attention to the project’s preparedness and potential downtown benefit.
