Commission approves 4B Spectrum rezoning for townhomes, conditions alley vacation filing
Loading...
Summary
The commission rezoned 0.58 acres on 25th Avenue East from SFR-4 to MR-2 allowing eight units (six townhomes and one duplex) and approved the subdivision after attaching a condition that the petitioner file to vacate the alley (vacation requires city council action before a land-development permit).
The Planning and Zoning Commission approved a rezoning and seven-lot subdivision for a project known as 4B Spectrum on 25th Avenue East, moving the property from single-family zoning to MR-2 to permit six townhomes and one duplex (eight units total).
Staff said the request conforms with the framework’s traditional neighborhood core guidance and showed conceptual elevations and a site plan. Engineering raised two right-of-way issues: additional dedication along 25th Avenue East and an unimproved alley that the petitioner may need to vacate or dedicate. Commissioners discussed options and engineering said it would not approve an LDP until any necessary alley vacation/dedication was addressed.
The petitioner indicated willingness to apply to vacate the petitioner’s portion of the alley and the commission included a stated condition of approval requiring that the petitioner file the alley vacation process. "I'll start that process tomorrow," the petitioner said on the record. Engineering noted the vacation process requires advertising and city-council action and warned the petitioner that an LDP may be withheld until completion.
The motion to approve carried with the stated condition. Because the site will still require normal site-development review, the petitioner must submit a land-development permit and any dedication/vacation documentation required by engineering.
Record of actions: rezoning (SFR-4 to MR-2) and subdivision were approved with the condition that petitioner pursue vacation of his portion of the alley; engineering will withhold LDP approval until the vacation dedication/vacation steps are complete or the petitioner demonstrates equivalent right-of-way provision.
