Council discusses rezoning of Eagle Landing to allow duplexes; traffic and property‑value concerns raised
Summary
Council heard staff presentation on PC 2242, a rezoning request from R‑6 to RMD to allow duplexes in Eagle Landing; Planning Commission recommended approval 5–1, but commissioners and residents previously raised concerns about traffic, pedestrian safety and property values; no final council vote is recorded in the provided transcript.
At the March 24, 2026 meeting the City Council discussed PC 2242, a rezoning application to change blocks one through three of the Eagle Landing addition from R‑6 (single‑family detached) to RMD (medium‑density residential) to allow duplex construction.
Planning staff explained that RMD zoning permits 10–20 dwelling units per gross acre and that duplexes are not allowed in the existing R‑6 district. The Planning Commission voted 5–1 to recommend approval; staff noted that at the Planning Commission hearing one resident had asked about property values, traffic increases and pedestrian safety. Council members asked whether the rezoning would produce significant traffic impacts and staff said the scale of this development—converting 16 single‑family lots to duplexes—would not produce a large traffic increase for the area but that detailed traffic analysis could be provided if council requests it.
The transcript segment provided records council questioning and staff explanation, but does not include a final council vote on PC 2242. If council wishes to move forward, the applicant may need to file an amending plat and follow procedural steps required by zoning and subdivision codes.
Next steps Staff or council may request additional traffic or pedestrian‑safety analysis; an amending plat would be required if the applicant proceeds with duplex construction under RMD zoning.
