Council advances rezoning for 521 S. Main to allow townhouses or duplexes
Summary
The Kokomo Common Council approved on first reading a petition to rezone 521 South Main from R-4 (medium-density urban residential) to R-5 (high-density urban residential). The change was filed by Devon and Rachel McRaven; the first reading passed by voice vote with no public opposition recorded at the meeting.
The Kokomo Common Council passed Ordinance 72-17 on first reading to rezone property at 521 South Main Street from R-4 (medium-density urban residential) to R-5 (high-density urban residential).
Councilman Grieco introduced the petition filed by Devon and Rachel McRaven, saying the change would allow townhouses or duplexes on the site. Grieco moved for passage on first reading; the council approved the motion by voice vote.
No members of the public spoke against Ordinance 72-17 during the meeting. Council members said the rezoning would permit higher-density development at the location; any specific site layout and building plans would be subject to future planning commission review and any required public hearings before development proceeds.
Because the action was a first-reading approval, final adoption will require a subsequent reading and any further procedural steps required by the city’s zoning process.
