Committee approves downzone at 462 Jackson Street to match single‑family use
Summary
The committee approved Item 25-1045 to rezone 462 Jackson Street from R‑4 (two‑family) to R‑3 (one‑family) at the petitioner's request; staff said the previous owner converted the building to single‑family and the current owner sought zoning to align with that use.
The Building Zoning and Economic Development Committee voted Jan. 14 to approve a rezoning request for 462 Jackson Street, changing the zoning from R‑4 (two-family dwelling) to R‑3 (one-family dwelling).
Jane Rechner, associate planner, said the property is currently used as a single-family residence and the prior owner had converted the structure from a two-unit to single-family. Staff explained the owner (identified in the discussion as a city employee) pursued the downzone because billing and meter configuration reflected the prior two-unit classification.
Committee members asked procedural and practical questions, including whether the water meter had been removed; staff said efforts are ongoing to resolve the meter status so that single-family billing aligns with the downzone. The planner also noted the change matches the property’s current use.
Alderman Patty Smith moved to approve the rezoning. The motion was seconded (second recorded in the transcript as 'Alderman McGarza'); the committee voted in favor and the motion carried. Staff recorded the rezoning for processing.
