Perry City Council approves rezoning on Frank Satderfield Road in 4–2 vote
Summary
The council approved a second-reading rezoning of a parcel on Frank Satderfield Road from R-2 to RM-1 after the planning commission’s conditional recommendation. The vote was 4–2 following testimony by applicant Paul Scoffield in favor of duplex construction.
PERRY CITY — The Perry City Council voted 4–2 April 21 to rezone a parcel on Frank Satderfield Road from R-2 single-family residential to RM-1 multifamily residential, moving the property closer to duplex development than its prior zoning allowed.
Mr. Duffy presented the ordinance for its second reading, noting the planning commission recommended approval on the condition the developer comply with all floodplain regulations. Applicant Paul Scoffield, who identified his address as 2831 Highway 127, told the council his elevation plans for proposed duplexes “are going to enhance the neighborhood” and “fit in and look like residential homes.”
The rezoning applies to the parcel listed with tax map number 0 P 0450 01300 0. Council members moved and seconded the measure; following deliberation the motion passed 4 in favor and 2 opposed. The transcript does not record which members cast each vote.
Council did not add additional conditions beyond the floodplain compliance noted by planning staff. Mr. Duffy told council the planning commission’s approval was contingent on the developer abiding by applicable floodplain requirements.
The decision allows the property owner to pursue multifamily development under RM-1 standards; any subsequent development proposals will be subject to permitting, floodplain review and other standard development approvals. The city clerk will update zoning records to reflect the change.
The council then moved on to other agenda items.
