Commission backs rezoning of city-owned lot to residential to support infill home
Summary
The commission voted to recommend rezoning a city-owned lot acquired in 2020 from business to residential, enabling a narrow three-story infill home under a redevelopment program offering 10% financing up to $350,000 for new builds.
The Lawrenceburg Advisory Planning Commission on March 4 recommended rezoning a city-owned lot from business (LB) to residential to facilitate construction of a new infill home under the city's redevelopment program.
Staff explained the city acquired the lot in 2020, remediated it and placed it into a redevelopment program that pairs Main Street support with 10% financing of up to $350,000 for new builds intended to bring families downtown. Because the lot is city-owned, staff said the local code (zoning section 15411 was referenced during discussion) permits the city to rezone the parcel without a variance, but the commission was asked to review the change as an informational and transparent step.
Commission discussion acknowledged the legal basis for rezoning a city-owned parcel and invited public input; no sustained public opposition was raised. The commission moved, seconded and voted to recommend rezoning the lot from LB to residential. The transcript records a single voiced opposition during the roll call but shows the motion carried.
If approved by the appropriate legislative body and recorded in municipal zoning records, the change would allow the planned narrow, three-story house referenced by staff to proceed under the redevelopment program.
