The Altoona City Council held a public hearing on March 17 on a proposed amendment to the conditional zoning for the Haines House at 202 2nd St SE.

Community Development Director John Shaw explained that property owner Kyle Clarkson submitted an amendment asking that five additional uses be excluded from the conditional C-4 (Village Commercial) zoning that the council approved in October 2024 when it rezoned the property from R-3 (Multi-Family Residential) to C-4. The five excluded uses listed by Shaw were: bakeries and baker outlets (retail sales only); confectionery stores, including ice cream or snack bars; dance studios; restaurants; and cafes, including combinations of those uses.

The hearing opened at 6:39 p.m. and no one came forward to speak. The minutes state the amendment was submitted to the Planning & Zoning Board for review; the transcript does not record any council vote on the amendment on March 17.
