Rezoning issue for duplex at 214/216 First Street discussed; variance advised, no action taken
Summary
A purchaser requested documentation to rebuild a duplex at 214/216 First Street with existing square footage; Attorney Liz Pendley advised a variance is required, and the commission took no action.
Dan Larson explained that a duplex at 214/216 First Street was rezoned to R2A in 2011 but that the building’s square footage exceeds what the current lot permits under city ordinance. The duplex is under contract to be sold and the prospective purchaser requested documentation that would allow rebuilding with the same square footage.
Attorney Liz Pendley advised the commission that the correct next step is for the purchaser to request a variance; the commission did not vote or take formal action on the matter during the June 16 meeting.
No additional details, ordinance citations, or timelines for a variance application were provided in the minutes. The commission directed no staff action at the meeting; any future consideration would follow the variance application process described by the city attorney.
