Council reviews rezone request at 916 West 1150 South to allow lot split and an additional single-family home
Summary
City staff presented a request to change about 0.74 acres at 916 West 1150 South from R1-8 to R1-6 so the owner can subdivide and create an additional single-family dwelling; neighbors raised concerns about parking and the street’s inclusion in an active-transportation plan, and staff said a development agreement could be considered though one was not requested.
City staff presented an ordinance amendment proposing to reclassify approximately 0.74 acres at 916 West 1150 South in the Lakeview neighborhood from R1-8 (single-family) to R1-6 (single-family) to permit the property owner to subdivide the parcel and create an additional single-family dwelling for sale.
Jessica, the project presenter, said both resulting lots would remain approximately 8,000 square feet and that the concept plan shifts parking to the rear with drive access running through to the new lot. During questioning, council members sought clarity on what structures would be removed: the presenter said the garage would be demolished while the primary house would remain. A councilor who identified the street as part of their neighborhood noted 1150 South appears on the city’s active transportation master plan and that the street could be designated in the future with no on-street parking, prompting questions about the proposal’s parking layout.
On the possibility of imposing an owner-occupancy or sale requirement, Jessica stated a development agreement had not been requested but that staff could work with the applicant if the council wanted to pursue one. Staff and another commenter discussed easement recording and confirmed the easement would be part of the transaction. The presenter and other staff generally characterized the proposal as an infill opportunity that retains lot sizes consistent with nearby properties.
The transcript contains no final council vote on this rezoning; staff said the item would appear on the council agenda for later discussion and formal consideration.
