Summary

The commission accepted the Planning Commission's unanimous recommendation and adopted ordinance 5161-24 to change zoning at 704 E. 12th from R-3 to PO; an owner representative said the change would allow office space for treatment clients.

City staff presented the Planning Commission's unanimous recommendation to rezone 704 East 12th from R-3 to PO. Staff said the owner holds adjacent property already designated PO and the change would align zoning with the property's use. Jason Grieve, identifying himself as vice president of treatment services for the owner (transcribed as 'Mir'/'Mirror' in the record), told the commission the intent is to convert nearby houses into office space where clients can meet clinicians.

Commissioners voted to receive the Planning Commission recommendation and then approved ordinance 5161-24 to effectuate the zoning change.

The commission did not detail a redevelopment timeline; staff and the owner's representative said subsequent building and interior work would follow appropriate permitting processes.
