Commission recommends rezoning small Walker Street parcel to allow two single-family homes
Summary
The commission recommended approval of a request to rezone a subdivided 0.34-acre parcel at 1700 West Walker Street from two-family duplex to SF-5 single-family in order to permit two single-family homes; staff noted a replat is necessary to use rear lots and recommended approval.
The Denison Planning and Zoning Commission voted to recommend approval of a rezone for a roughly 0.34-acre property at 1700 West Walker Street from two-family duplex zoning to SF-5 single-family to allow construction of two single-family homes.
Planning staff explained that the property is subdivided into four narrow 50-foot lots, including two alley lots, and that the developer wants to build two single-family homes on the rear lots, which requires replatting. Staff said the neighborhood has generally developed in a single-family pattern and that applying the SF-5 designation would allow construction that better fits the block. "We recommend approval of the request," the planner said during the presentation.
A commissioner moved to recommend approval to change the zoning from 2F duplex to SF-5 single-family; the motion was seconded and approved by voice vote. The applicant was not present at the hearing. The commission's recommendation will go to City Council for final action; subsequent plan review and any required replatting will address lot configuration and development standards.
