Planning commission recommends rezoning 207 South North to allow future apartments
Summary
The Otsego Planning Commission on Oct. 14 recommended the City Commission approve Geneva Crawford’s request to rezone 207 South North from Professional Office to single- and two-family residential to allow apartments in the future; a Special Land Use Permit will be required for any apartment proposal.
The Otsego Planning Commission voted Oct. 14 to recommend that the City Commission rezone 207 South North from PO (Professional Office) to RB (Single & Two-Family Residential), a change the applicant said is intended to allow apartments on the site in the future.
Member Mitchell said the applicant, Geneva Crawford, was present and that the rezoning would enable apartment development later. He said the request was not considered spot zoning and that “when the apartments are proposed a Special Land Use Permit will be needed.”
Member Wayne Rayburn moved to recommend approval to the City Commission; Member Stacey Withee seconded the motion and it carried. The transcript records the motion and the “carried” outcome but does not specify a roll-call vote or vote tally.
The rezoning request had a public hearing that the commission opened at 7:01 p.m. and closed at 7:02 p.m.; no members of the public spoke during that hearing. The commission did not set an effective date for any rezoning action; further consideration and any final decision will be made by the City Commission at a future meeting (date not specified in the transcript).
The Planning Commission’s minutes note that a Special Land Use Permit will be required should a developer submit plans for apartments, meaning additional review and criteria will apply before any apartment construction could proceed.
