Council approves first readings for three annexations; members raise lot-size concerns
Summary
Council approved first readings to annex three properties (104 Small Ridge St. S, 1 Partridge Court, and 1116 Conger Drive S) and zone them residential (RS-10/RS-15); some councilmembers urged a future UDO update to add zoning for larger-lot areas (RS-30/RS-40).
During new business, staff presented three separate first-reading ordinances to annex and zone individual parcels into the city: 104 Small Ridge Street South (approx. 0.2 acre, proposed RS-10), 1 Partridge Court (approx. 1.03 acres, proposed RS-15) and 1116 Conger Drive South (approx. 0.5 acre, proposed RS-15). Planning Commission members had unanimously recommended annexation and the requested zoning for each parcel.
Councilmembers unanimously approved first readings for each property. Several councilmembers commented specifically on 1116 Conger Drive and neighboring lots that are commonly larger than the proposed RS-15 minimum, urging that the city's upcoming Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) review consider creating RS-30 or RS-40 classifications for neighborhoods where one-acre lots are typical. Staff acknowledged the concern and said the UDO review could address lot-size compatibility in the future.
These actions were first readings and will follow the city's ordinary ordinance process for subsequent readings and final adoption.
