Council advances land‑use items: conditional use at Main Ave., rezoning along Highway 14 Bypass and preliminary plat for industrial lots
Summary
The council heard first readings for a conditional use permit to allow an office at 717–719 Main Ave. (former dentist), approved rezoning of a property at 213 W Highway 14 Bypass from R3 to B3 for potential motel/hotel use, and approved a preliminary plat creating seven industrial lots on 54 acres in the Northeast Hanson addition.
Community Development Director Mike Strzok presented several land‑use items to the council.
He introduced an ordinance for a conditional use permit to reestablish an office use at 717–719 Main Avenue, the former dentist office. Strzok said the request carried a unanimous planning commission recommendation and that the development review team recommended a condition making the conditional use permit nontransferable so a future owner would need to reapply.
Strzok also presented a rezoning application for property commonly referred to as the fraternity site on the Highway 14 bypass (213 W Highway 14 Bypass). He said prospective buyers want to pursue a motel or small hotel on the site; rezoning from Residential R3 Apartment District to Business B3 Heavy District aligns with the future land‑use map and carried a unanimous planning commission recommendation.
On the preliminary plat for the Annie Hansen property, Strzok told council the 54‑acre site east of 30 Fourth Avenue will be divided into seven industrial lots for future economic development; the rezoning for this area had been approved previously and the plat came forward with unanimous planning commission support. An engineer representing the applicant, Justin Booker of Banner Associates, was present to answer technical questions about drainage and access; discussion noted DOT control of bypass access and ongoing work on drainage and possible annexation of pond areas.
All items were advanced for subsequent readings as applicable (first readings for ordinances; preliminary plat approved by roll call).
