Council approves rezoning on Solomon Street to allow additional housing
Summary
The council accepted a planning-board-backed rezoning to change a Solomon Street parcel from R20 to R10 to permit additional housing units described by the applicant as affordable housing; the council closed the public hearing and voted to approve the request.
During a public hearing, council members considered a rezoning request to change a parcel on Solomon Street from R20 to R10 to allow the construction of additional housing units. The applicant told the council the intent is to build more “affordable housing” and described previous family ownership and ongoing development in the area.
Planning staff had recommended approval; the council closed the hearing, moved from the public-hearing record back into open session and voted to accept the planning board’s recommendation to rezone the property. No ordinance number or formal site plan was presented at the meeting; council members asked staff to proceed consistent with the planning board recommendation.
Outcome: Rezoning from R20 to R10 approved as announced during the meeting. The council referenced the property at Solomon Street near the intersection with Harley Street and noted it will enable additional residential construction on that lot.
Next steps: Staff to complete the official ordinance paperwork and any required recording of the rezoning action.
