Commission approves rezoning of 2400 Reynold Street for 46-unit mixed‑use development
Summary
The Brunswick City Commission voted unanimously June 3 to rezone 2400 Reynold Street from Neighborhood Commercial to Mixed‑Use Historic, clearing the way for a 46‑unit cottage-style project the applicant says will target workforce incomes and a mix of rental and for‑sale units.
The Brunswick City Commission on June 3 approved a rezoning that will allow a proposed 46‑unit cottage development at 2400 Reynold Street.
Director Hunter told the commission the application asks to change parcel 10448 from Neighborhood Commercial to a Mixed‑Use Historic classification consistent with the New Town character area, and described the proposed project as 46 smaller units (studios through three‑bedrooms), on‑ and off‑street parking, and green space aimed to fit the neighborhood’s historic pattern. Hunter said the project was recommended for approval by the Planning and Appeals Commission.
The applicant represented to the commission that the unit mix would include about 10 studios, 17 one‑bedroom units, 13 two‑bedroom units and six three‑bedroom units; of the 46 units, the applicant said about 25 would be rentals and 21 for sale. The project team said proposed rents would range from about $675 for studios to $1,650 for three‑bedrooms and that the development is intended to serve workforce households, targeting roughly 60–120% of area median income.
Commissioners asked about neighborhood outreach, traffic impact and parking. Staff said the project’s trip generation did not trigger a formal traffic study and that additional neighborhood engagement would follow rezoning approval. Commissioners also pressed for clarity about parking, maintenance of proposed green space, and the effect of an HOA on affordability.
Mayor announced a recusal from the rezoning decision because of a disclosed connection to the parcel’s owner; the record shows staff and a city attorney present to answer technical questions during the hearing.
A motion to approve the rezoning passed with no recorded opposition.
Next steps identified by staff include initiating neighborhood outreach, final site and permitting review, and any infrastructure upgrades needed to support the development.
