Council approves rezoning for 701 West 3rd Street to allow duplexes
Summary
The Bruceville-Eddy City Council voted unanimously to rezone 701 West 3rd Street from single-family to multifamily district 1 after the applicant said the likely development will be duplexes rather than apartments.
Bruceville-Eddy — The City Council voted unanimously to rezone property at 701 West 3rd Street from single-family dwelling District 1 to multifamily dwelling District 1 after a public hearing on the applicant’s plans.
At the podium, applicant Jana Haney said the site will not become apartments: "We're not doing apartments. It will be at the most duplexes," adding the final build depends on whether a nearby right-of-way is abandoned. City staff reviewed the proposal and recommended approval based on submitted materials and lot configuration.
Councilmember (mover) introduced the motion to approve the rezoning and Mr. Prager seconded. The council conducted the vote and the motion passed unanimously.
The rezoning covers a property described in the record as containing roughly 0.323 acres and 0.319 acres in the city's limits, where a structure previously burned and the lot has since been cleared. Neighbors raised a question at the meeting about the intended housing type; the applicant said the current plan is for duplex units and that the owner cleared and cleaned the lot.
No written objections were reported to staff, and the council recorded no opposed votes. The public hearing was opened and closed at the meeting; council members approved the change during the regular meeting.
Next steps for the applicant include any required abandonment of the right-of-way and the submittal of final development plans or building permits, subject to standard zoning and permitting review.
