Summary
Residents near 701 Indian Street asked the Zoning Commission to postpone a rezoning hearing because they say three new dwellings would worsen street parking and create safety risks for children at a nearby elementary school. The commission voted to postpone the case to Dec. 4.
The Zoning Commission postponed consideration of a rezoning request for property at 701 Indian Street to Dec. 4 after multiple nearby residents expressed parking and child-safety concerns.
Residents who live across from the parcel said the proposal would allow three homes on a lot they say cannot accommodate additional curb parking. Speakers said student drop-off at the nearby elementary school already creates curb-side congestion and that added residences would heighten safety risks for children walking to school. Several callers and in-room commenters identified themselves as neighbors for the district and asked for additional review and outreach before the commission acts.
The commission voted to postpone the matter; staff recorded the case as Z-2025-10700241 (as provided at the hearing) and said the case will be scheduled for Dec. 4 so that the applicant and neighbors can continue to work through concerns. No final rezoning action was taken at the meeting.
