Altoona rezones 3.31-acre parcel at 6101 NE 62nd Avenue to allow future fire station
Summary
The council rezoned a 3.31-acre parcel from A‑1 (Agricultural) to M‑1 (Limited Industrial) so a future fire station is an allowed use; Community Development Director John Shaw explained the A‑1 district does not permit fire stations.
The Altoona City Council approved an ordinance amending the official zoning map to rezone a 3.31‑acre parcel at 6101 NE 62nd Avenue from A‑1 (Agricultural District) to M‑1 (Limited Industrial) to allow a future fire station.
Community Development Director John Shaw told the council the rezoning was necessary because the A‑1 district does not permit a fire station and the M‑1 classification would allow the use. The public hearing opened at 6:39 p.m.; no members of the public spoke and the council voted in favor of the ordinance readings and publication by roll calls recorded as unanimous among those present (4-0).
The action included first, second and third readings and authorization to publish the ordinance. The council did not provide further conditions at the meeting; subsequent site planning and design steps would follow the rezoning process.
