Roosevelt planning commission approves RM18 rezoning for Harston Avenue
Summary
The Roosevelt Planning and Zoning Commission approved changing the Harston Avenue area to an RM18 residential‑multifamily zone after a staff presentation and public hearing follow‑ups; commissioners discussed alternatives and concerns about creating large contiguous zoning blocks.
The Roosevelt Planning and Zoning Commission voted to approve an RM18 rezoning for the Harston Avenue area after a staff follow‑up presentation and brief discussion.
Drew, a city staff member, reopened the item and reviewed that the proposal had already seen two months of public hearings and discussion and recommended proceeding with RM18 rather than RM13. The staff presentation reiterated that RM18 would surround existing RM13 and R16 zones and that choosing RM18 was the commission’s prior direction.
Commissioners aired a caveat about large, contiguous blocks of a single zoning designation, with at least one member noting guidance discouraging “huge blocks of the same zoning.” The discussion also observed that some adjacent parcels are zoned commercial and that past decisions had protected commercial corridors near the highway.
A member moved to approve the RM18 rezoning for the Harston subdivision; the motion was seconded and carried. The transcript records at least one opposing vote, but individual yes/no tallies beyond that opposition were not specified in the discussion.
The commission deferred approval of the minutes until its December meeting and then moved on to the next agenda item. Staff did not announce additional conditions for the rezoning in the recorded discussion; any subsequent procedural steps (final ordinance adoption or administrative filings) were not specified in the meeting record.
