Planning commission recommends rezoning 28 West Canal Street to R‑5, declines local public hearing
Summary
Staff told the commission the parcel at 28 West Canal Street is split‑zoned; commissioners voted to decline a local public hearing and to recommend rezoning the parcel to R‑5 to correct split zoning, forwarding the recommendation to City Council where a mandatory public hearing will occur.
The Troy Planning Commission recommended on July 8 that City Council rezone the parcel at 28 West Canal Street to R‑5 to eliminate a split‑zoning condition that currently places a roughly 20‑foot sliver in the B‑2 commercial district across a residential property.
Staff told commissioners the split zoning divides a single house between residential and a small commercial sliver. "This is one of our last few remaining split zoning parcels that we have in the city," the staff member said, and recommended that the commission forward a positive recommendation to council.
The commission voted to decline holding a public hearing at the planning commission level (staff noted a public hearing is mandatory at the council level). Commissioners then moved and seconded to recommend rezoning to council; the clerk called the roll and the motion carried.
The rezoning will advance to City Council for the required public hearing and readings under the city’s rezoning procedures.
