Durant council denies rezoning request for duplex development near Cemetery and Country Club Road
Summary
Council members voted to deny a request to rezone property at Cemetery and Country Club Road to allow about 10 duplex structures (20 units), matching the planning commission's recommendation that the proposal did not align with the future land-use designation.
Mr. Cottrell, the city planner, summarized a rezoning application for property at Cemetery and Country Club Road seeking approval for roughly 10 duplex structures (about 20 dwelling units). He told the council that the property's current zoning is A-1 and the future land-use map indicates industrial uses; planning commission recommended denial after a vote (3 in favor of denial, 1 abstention).
"The request was found not to align with the future land use," Mr. Cottrell said, describing the commission's action. The council discussed the planning commission's recommendation and, with a motion to deny the rezoning, voted in favor of denial to keep the property's current zoning in place.
The transcript records that one planning commissioner abstained because of prior work for the applicant. No council member stated alternative conditions or requested a remand to planning for different conditions during the council discussion.
Because the council denied the rezoning, the applicant retains the property's existing zoning and any future application would need to address the planning department's concerns about consistency with the future land-use map.
