Council advances rezoning of 711 South Ramsey to allow multifamily housing
Summary
The Stillwater City Council voted 4-0 to accept the Planning Commission recommendation to rezone 711 South Ramsey Street from small-lot single-family (RSS) to residential 2‑family/multifamily (RTM) and advanced Ordinance 35‑86 to second reading.
The Stillwater City Council on Dec. 1 voted 4-0 to accept the Planning Commission recommendation to rezone 711 South Ramsey Street from RSS (small-lot single‑family) to RTM (residential 2‑family/multifamily), a change staff said aligns with the city’s future land‑use map.
Henry Bibelheimer, Development Services, described the site as a small parcel on the east side of Ramsey between 7th and 8th streets and said existing structures had been removed to support potential multifamily development. “Rezoning to RTM or residential 2 family multifamily does align with the comprehensive plan,” Bibelheimer said during his presentation.
Applicant representative Stephen Gose of Gose and Associates asked council to follow the Planning Commission’s recommendation. “We’re asking for you to approve the planning commission’s motion to approve this,” Gose said.
With no public speakers signed up at the hearing, the council moved and seconded the Planning Commission recommendation and voted to approve it. The council later moved Ordinance 35‑86 to second reading.
Next steps: the ordinance will return for a second reading before final adoption.
