Staff outlines rezoning plan for 105 North Walnut Street to allow business expansion
Summary
Staff presented a draft ordinance to rezone the lot north of Rhodes Enterprises at 105 North Walnut Street from R1 to GB, described modified zoning commitments carried forward from a 2016 rezoning, and said final plan approval and possible encroachment review remain required.
Staff member told the council the third draft of a rezoning ordinance would reclassify the lot north of Rhodes Enterprises at 105 North Walnut Street from R1 to GB to permit the business to expand northward. The presentation noted zoning commitments attached to a 2016 rezoning for the nearby parcel would be revised for the property in question.
The staff presentation said one commitment — a 10-foot side-yard setback — duplicated current code and would be removed. Staff also recommended moving a buffer fence to the west property line to separate the expanded business from remaining homes. Outside storage language would be tightened to prohibit outdoor materials generally rather than only recyclable materials, the presentation said.
Staff cautioned that the rezoning is not final: the proposal must still go through final plan approval and may require an encroachment report or, less likely, a variance if pavement or roadway placement encroaches on neighboring property. The staff member asked the council for questions and said additional details about final plans and permit requirements would be worked out if the rezoning proceeds.
The council did not record a formal vote or motion on the rezoning in the transcript; next procedural steps identified were continued review and plan approval.
