Owners ask to rezone 201 Venus Avenue from R-1 to C-1 to allow storage units; board discusses compatibility
Summary
A property owner (trustee absent) asked the City of Goodland to rezone 201 Venus Avenue from R-1 to C-1 to permit storage units; a city representative told members the site is adjacent to commercial parcels and utilities in the alley are adequate, but no rezoning vote was recorded in the transcript.
Speaker 7 presented a rezoning request for 201 Venus Avenue, asking the board to change the parcel from R-1 (residential) to C-1 (commercial) so owners could develop storage units matching nearby commercial uses.
Speaker 7 said the property sits behind parcels recently reviewed at 16th and Grand and that the owners have removed foundations and begun leveling the ground. "The request is to go to C 1 from R 1, which would allow them more use of the property and also to be able to do the storage units like they are wanting," Speaker 7 told the group.
On plan consistency and utilities, Speaker 7 told members the rezoning would be consistent with the City of Goodland comprehensive plan and regulations and noted electricity is available in the alleyway. He said sewer and water would not be required for storage units. Speaker 7 also said rezoning should not cause disproportionate loss to nearby landowners and that traffic impacts should be modest for storage units compared with more intensive commercial uses.
Design details remain undecided: Speaker 7 said the owner had not finalized a site plan and was weighing whether to provide alley access to units or make curb cuts for street access from Kansas. He added that owners had avoided producing detailed plans prior to rezoning to avoid incurring costs prematurely. A citizen question asked why residential parcels were being rezoned; Speaker 7 replied that certain uses could require a conditional use permit but that no such application had been filed.
Separately in the meeting participants discussed communications infrastructure: Speaker 3 and Speaker 7 described a separate tower project involving a 70-foot structure in Colby that will be raised in sections and will relay to a 300-foot tower at the west end of town, with smaller satellite dishes projecting north. Speaker 7 concluded "Nothing to report at this time" on those items.
The transcript records discussion and an initial presentation of the rezoning request but does not contain a vote or final decision on 201 Venus Avenue.
