Council rezones 105 East 3rd to R2 to permit garage-to-studio conversion
Summary
Council unanimously approved rezoning 105 East 3rd Street from R1 to R2 to allow conversion of a garage into a studio apartment after staff reported required notices, no objections, and acceptable ingress/egress arrangements.
The City Council approved an ordinance rezoning 105 East 3rd Street from R1 (single‑family) to R2 (two‑family) to allow a garage conversion to a studio apartment.
Staff explained the conversion involves using an existing driveway/alley for ingress and egress and that required public notices were sent; planning and zoning recommended approval. Council members asked clarifying questions about a quitclaim deed shown on file and the alley/driveway access; staff replied the entrance would remain the same and would not create new safety issues.
No members of the public spoke at the hearing. After closing the public hearing, council voted to adopt the ordinance.
Next steps: the property owner should apply for building and related permits required for a legal residential conversion.
