Council approves first reading to rezone 119 Washington St. N.; approves street-name housekeeping change
Summary
Council approved first readings to rezone a vacant property at 119 Washington Street North from C-3 to R-3 and to amend a right-of-way name from Nicholas Drive to Shortridge Drive; both items were recommended by staff and the Planning Commission and passed by unanimous roll-call votes.
At its Nov. 24 meeting, the City of Aberdeen council approved first readings on two administrative land-use items: a rezoning petition for 119 Washington Street North and a housekeeping ordinance to change a portion of a right of way from Nicholas Drive to Shortridge Drive.
Ken (planning staff) told the council the property at 119 Washington St. N. is a nuisance vacant residence recently acquired by a new owner who intends to renovate it as a single-family home. Planning Commission recommended approval on Nov. 18, and staff recommended the rezoning from C-3 to R-3 to allow the renovation. Councilman Johnson moved for approval; Jordan recorded a roll-call vote with all members present recorded as "aye."
On the street-name change, Ken said multiple replats over the last 20-plus years led to inconsistent plat labels, and staff proposed adopting the most consistently used name, Shortridge Drive, as the legal roadway name. Council moved and approved the first reading by unanimous roll-call vote.
Both items were advanced by first reading with no recorded objections. Further readings or formal adoption requirements were not specified during the meeting.
