Planning commission conditions rezoning of 209 W. 2nd North St. on joining lots
Summary
The commission unanimously approved forwarding a rezoning request for 209 W. 2nd North St. from R-2 to Central Business to allow paved parking for an adjacent apartment conversion, contingent on platting the two lots together to avoid a split zone.
The Planning Commission voted 9–0 on March 10 to forward REZN-3282 to City Council, recommending rezoning 209 W. 2nd North St. (parcel 032033L G 00600) from R-2 (Medium Density Residential) to CB (Central Business). Planner Sabrina S. Tomassoni said property owner Chris Simmons plans to use the vacant lot for paved parking to support an adjacent eleven‑unit apartment conversion at 203 W. 2nd North St., and that parking lots are not a permitted use in R-2 zoning.
Secretary Roni Snyder expressed concern that, without joining the lots, a developer might build a different use instead of providing parking for the neighboring apartment. Tomassoni confirmed there had been discussion about adjoining the lots; the owner has not platted them together yet. Secretary Snyder moved approval contingent on platting the two lots together; Mayor Gary Chesney seconded. The commission recorded a 9–0 vote.
Tomassoni said the lot has been vacant for more than 10 years and that the owner will be required to provide grading, site work and a buffer between the planned parking area and the single‑family house at 215 W. 2nd North St.
