Council adopts rezoning for 1066 Church Street to R6 after public comment on density
Summary
Council adopted second reading to rezone 1066 Church Street to R6 (residential single/1–2 family). A nearby resident raised concerns about added density and congestion; the applicant said the plat shows four one‑bedroom structures (about 760 sq ft each) and emphasized intent to retain ownership and limit vehicle trips.
The Town of Central council voted on second reading Monday to rezone property at 1066 Church Street from neighborhood commercial to R6 (residential single/1–2 family).
During the public hearing, a resident said they believed a higher-density designation had been discussed previously and voiced concern that additional units would worsen congestion on an already crowded street: "I just think that is putting more density into the neighborhood there...and that street is already super, super crowded," the resident said.
The applicant (speaker 6) described the proposal as four separate one‑bedroom structures intended for single occupants rather than typical rental stacked apartments, saying each unit would be roughly 760 square feet and that he expected “maximum 4 vehicles coming in and out of there a day.” He acknowledged R6 zoning allows duplexes and said a variance would be required for connected duplex configurations; he told council he would provide more detailed drawings if the rezoning were approved.
Council members clarified that the rezoning decision concerns permitted uses and density allowances and is distinct from any specific site‑plan approvals or variance requests, which would be considered separately. After discussion and the public comment period, the council moved, seconded, and approved the ordinance on second reading; the transcript records the motion as carried by voice/hand vote, with no roll-call tally recorded in the minutes provided.
The rezoning was listed on the agenda and discussed in the public hearing portion of the meeting; council did not vote on any variance or site-plan details at Monday’s meeting.
