Planning commission recommends rezoning small parcel at 120 Palm Street to avoid split zoning

Stephanie Leaf, planning and zoning director, presented ZM-25-32, a rezoning request affecting a 20-by-65-foot portion of formerly abandoned 1st Avenue now incorporated into the lot at 120 Palm Street in the Glen Haven neighborhood. Leaf explained the right-of-way had been abandoned in 2017 and that the parcel currently contains split zoning (R-6 adjacent to local commercial). She said the replat in 2025 combined the right-of-way into the property but left a split zone that could limit commercial use unless rezoned.
