Council approves rezoning to allow second residence at 1700B Northwest
Summary
City staff said 1700B Northwest already contains a main house and a garage apartment; the council approved rezoning the lot to residential multifamily (RM1) so the owner can establish two separate residences with individual utility meters.
The Miami City Council voted to approve a rezoning request for 1700B Northwest so the property can be used as two separate residences. Staff told the council the parcel currently contains a primary house and a garage apartment; the owner wants two distinct addresses and separate utility meters, and staff recommended changing the zoning from single‑family to RM1 (residential multifamily).
Staff member said the owner, identified in the transcript as Par H Investments, has prepared the property and will install separate electrical and water meters for each unit. "He has recently purchased 1700, B Northwest," the staff member said during the presentation, adding staff saw no anticipated issues with the change.
Council members moved and seconded the rezoning request and recorded approval on the record. The decision legalizes the two‑unit arrangement and allows the owner to proceed with separate service connections.
The rezoning will take effect according to the city’s standard processing timeline; staff said the utilities will be separated and the property will be treated as multifamily for permitting and taxation purposes.
