Summary

Council approved Ordinance 1500 to rezone 300 Baker Street to RP-3 (planned multifamily residential), following a 5-0 planning commission recommendation and no recorded public opposition.

Staff introduced Ordinance 1500 to rezone 300 Baker Street, a parcel south of Elite Chiropractic and west of the car wash at Third and Baker, to RP-3 planned multifamily residential zoning. Speaker 9 said the planning commission recommended approval by a 5-0 vote and staff reported support from nearby landowners.

Why it matters: the rezoning allows multifamily options such as duplexes or a triplex on the parcel, which council members said would fit with neighboring land uses and add housing supply.

Council action: A council member moved and seconded the rezoning; the council recorded affirmative votes and the motion passed to move the ordinance forward.

Next steps: The ordinance was advanced per the council’s action and will follow the city’s ordinance adoption process; any future development will require site plans and compliance with city standards.
