Commission recommends rezoning two parcels from B-2 to R-2 to align with nearby residential neighborhood
Summary
The commission recommended city-council approval to rezone 420 Mei Tai SE and 421 Van Allen SE from B-2 to R-2, citing the parcels’ original residential platting, adjacency to R-2 neighborhoods, and a long vacancy on one lot.
The Wyoming Planning Commission voted to recommend city council approve rezoning of two parcels — 420 Mei Tai SE and 421 Van Allen SE — from B-2 General Business to R-2 Residential.
Staff explained the parcels were originally platted for residential use in 1965, that one parcel currently contains a single-family house and the other has been vacant for roughly 23 years. Staff said both parcels meet R-2 lot-size and dimensional requirements and that rezoning would bring the parcels into alignment with the surrounding residential context. City council will consider the request with readings scheduled for Aug. 3 (first reading) and Sept. 7 (second reading).
A neighbor, Chris Wilson (32 Van Allen Street), told commissioners he preferred single-family development rather than duplexes if the parcels are redeveloped. Staff noted the rezoning only changes the allowed zoning category; no specific development proposal is before the commission now. The commission’s recommendation advances the rezoning to city council for final action.
