Council approves purchase agreement for two Tonkin Street lots; sale contingent on zoning commission review
Summary
Council approved a proposed purchase agreement for two city-owned lots on Tonkin Street at $4,000 per lot, contingent on approval from the zoning commission because the proposed homes would be smaller than the city ordinance permits. Council voted unanimously to approve the purchase agreement conditional on zoning action.
The Beaverton City Council voted to approve a proposed purchase agreement for two city-owned lots on Tonkin Street, setting the purchase price at $4,000 per lot.
Jennifer Harper moved the motion, which Tiffany Burgess seconded. Council members voted unanimously to approve the purchase agreement during the meeting. Council minutes note that completion of the sale is contingent on the zoning commission’s approval because the homes proposed for the lots would be smaller than current ordinance dimensions; the motion also requires the zoning commission to accept a development agreement that the city plans to present to the commission.
Council did not provide details about the prospective buyer or the planned home designs in the minutes. Staff from Community Development will present the development agreement to the zoning commission for review; the sale cannot be finalized until that review is complete.
Next steps: Community Development staff are expected to bring the development agreement to the zoning commission for consideration and then report the commission’s decision back to the council.
