Committee approves rezoning of McPerson property to R1 and forwards map amendment to council
Summary
The committee voted to approve a map amendment to rezone roughly 2.15 acres of the McPerson property from I1 to R1 to create six single-family lots and one duplex lot; the approval is advisory and will be forwarded to city council for final action.
The Planning and Zoning advisory committee approved a map amendment to rezone about 2.15 acres on the north side of the McPerson property from I1 (industrial) to R1 (residential) and will forward the committee's approval to city council.
Applicant Jeremy McPerson described the proposal as a lot split into seven parcels: five center lots sized about 80 by 150 feet, a west lot about 95 by 150 feet, and an east lot roughly 130 by 150 feet. McPerson said the plan is to build primarily single-family homes — with one lot sized for a duplex — and that construction would likely begin in spring depending on market conditions.
Committee members and residents raised questions about a former railroad utility strip and a gas line shown on staking maps; staff said the strip remains recorded as former railroad land and that the gas line appears on the staking. The committee discussed emergency access and utility constraints but had no outstanding technical objections to the map amendment as presented.
The committee voted to approve the rezoning and will place the item on the next city council agenda for final action.
Clarifying details: the map amendment affects approximately 2.15 acres; center lots measure roughly 80 by 150 feet, one west lot is about 95 by 150 feet, and the east lot is about 130 by 150 feet. The applicant said he expects to begin work in the spring subject to sales and site preparation.
The committee approved the map amendment and will forward the record to city council for final decision.
