Council approves two rezonings; mayor recuses from one item
Summary
The council approved a rezoning for 702 South Adam Street to public use and approved a separate rezoning (MA26-04) of about 20 acres from commercial to two-family/multifamily on the northern parcel; the mayor recused from MA26-04 and that vote passed 3–0 with one abstention. Both items move forward as ordinances.
Stillwater’s City Council on June 15 approved two rezoning requests affecting separate parcels.
Staff presented a map amendment to rezone 702 South Adam Street from small-lot single-family residential (RSS) to public (P). Henry Bubbleheimer of Development Services said the parcel lies south of Stillwater Medical Center and that the comprehensive plan designates the location for public and civic uses; the council voted 4–0 to accept the Planning Commission’s recommendation and advanced ordinance 3611 to second reading.
Separately, the council considered MA26-04, a request to rezone roughly 20.02 acres (6603 and 6711 W. 6th Ave and the north portion of 603 S Range West Rd) from Commercial General (CG) to RTM (residential two-family/multifamily) for the northern parcel to allow conversion of three existing single-family houses into a multifamily use. Staff noted the comprehensive plan shows regional commercial and that multifamily is a lower-ranked use in that designation, but the applicant limited the rezoning request to the northern portion to contain higher density. The mayor recused from MA26-04 because the matter involved a relative; the vice mayor presided during the item. Council accepted the Planning Commission recommendation and the measure passed with three yes votes and one abstention; ordinance 3612 was advanced with that same vote.
Both rezonings will return for follow-up readings as ordinances move through the standard process.
