Planning Commission backs rezoning near SE 1st Ave and East Main to C-3, contingent on BOA variance
Summary
The commission recommended rezoning a property near Southeast 1st Avenue and East Main Street from I-2 to C-3, provided the Board of Adjustment approves a frontage variance; staff said future land use supports commercial development.
The Planning Commission voted to recommend rezoning a property near Southeast 1st Avenue and East Main Street from I-2 to C-3, with staff noting the action is contingent on a variance for frontage from the Board of Adjustment.
Taylor, a planning staff member, said current future land use calls for commercial uses and that staff recommends approval "contingent on approved variance for the frontage from the Board of Adjustments." Commissioners discussed parking and frontage constraints and whether the change could be considered spot zoning; several commissioners said rezoning would align the property with the future land-use map.
A motion to recommend approval (contingent on BOA action) passed with recorded unanimous votes. The recommendation will be forwarded to City Council for final action at its next meeting.
