Developer seeks five‑story mixed‑use building in Altoona; council records rezoning request
Summary
BTW Companies requested rezoning of about 4.9 acres to C‑4 (Village Commercial) for a proposed five‑story mixed‑use building between Dollar General and the former Family Video site. The council recorded the rezoning request and ordinance readings with unanimous roll calls; the hearing was limited to rezoning only.
The council heard a rezoning request from BTW Companies on April 15 to change four parcels totaling about 4.914 acres to C‑4 (Village Commercial). Community Development Director John Shaw introduced the item as a first reading on rezoning.
David Bentz of Bishop Engineering told the council his client, Brian Jones, proposes to develop roughly 4.19 acres between the Dollar General and the former Family Video property into a five‑story mixed‑use apartment building with commercial space on the first floor. The hearing on the rezoning was limited to the zoning question and closed after the statement; no other public testimony was recorded.
An ordinance amending the official zoning map was recorded in the minutes with roll call votes for the readings; the minutes show the related roll calls recorded as unanimous (5-0). The transcript indicates the council considered the ordinance readings and publication as part of the rezoning process that night.
