Commission approves Roosevelt Drive RN rezone and lot‑line adjustment

The commission adopted staff recommendations on two related items for property at 6067 Roosevelt Drive (cases 26005 and 26006). Staff said RN zoning allows 10,000‑sq‑ft lots served by public utilities and smaller setbacks (10 ft side yards) while preserving a maximum density of three dwelling units per lot; the RN designation requires access to public sewer.

Planning staff recommended forwarding the rezone (case 26005) for approval because the site fronts Roosevelt Drive where public water and sewer are available and because smaller RN lots accommodate the local topography better. One adjoining property owner submitted written opposition citing concerns about potential higher density and condominium conversions, and staff replied RN requires public sewer and does not change the maximum per‑lot dwelling cap. The commission adopted resolution 45‑45a recommending approval of the rezone (recorded roll call: six in favor).

The commission then considered the preliminary plat (case 26006) to adjust the lot line between Lots 2 and 3 (GG US Survey 2402) to create one 10,000‑sq‑ft lot and one larger lot; staff recommended approval with conditions, including that the RN rezone become effective before the final plat is recorded and that an accessory structure be removed so the final plat would not create a nonconformity. The commission approved the preliminary plat subject to those conditions.

Next steps: the applicant must resolve plat comments, remove the identified accessory structure and record the final plat after the rezone is effective.
