Council approves rezoning of two South Court parcels to allow hardscape business
Summary
The Marion City Council voted unanimously to rezone 1300 and 1302 South Court from R-2 residential to C-1 commercial (Ordinance 4072) to allow a prospective owner to operate a hardscape business; the zoning board had recommended approval and no one spoke in opposition.
The Marion City Council approved Ordinance 4072 to rezone two adjacent parcels at 1300 and 1302 South Court from R-2 general family residential to C-1 general commercial, clearing the way for a prospective owner to operate a hardscape business on the site.
Mayor Absher told the council the zoning board had reviewed the request and recommended approval and that he did not believe anyone had testified against the change at the zoning-board hearing. The parcels are identified as parcel IDs 0624450008 and 0624450009. Mayor Absher moved to approve the ordinance; the motion was seconded and the council voted unanimously to adopt the rezoning.
The prospective owner named in the packet is Drew Denton; the current owner listed is John McAnally. Council members discussed that the site historically housed a radiator shop and may have been grandfathered into commercial use under older zoning patterns along the street, but agreed that commercial zoning along Court Street makes planning sense given existing uses.
Vote: Ordinance 4072 passed unanimously.
