Commission rezones 1304 West 14th to Neighborhood Commercial to allow laundromat in LMI area
Summary
Planning staff recommended and the commission approved rezoning 1304 West 14th Street from General Residential (RG) to Neighborhood Commercial (CN) to support a laundromat serving a low‑to‑moderate income neighborhood; the Planning Commission supported the change using the eight rezoning factors.
The Junction City Commission approved ordinance s3329 to rezone 1304 West 14th Street from General Residential (RG) to Neighborhood Commercial (CN) after the Planning Commission recommended the change to enable a laundromat in a portion of the city with limited access to self‑service laundry facilities.
Community development staff (Christopher Schragas) briefed the commission on the Planning Commission—s review, explaining staff used the ‘‘eight golden factors— to evaluate the rezoning. Staff said there are only four self‑service laundromats in Junction City today, most located at the south or east ends of town, and that placing a laundromat at 1304 West 14th would serve residents without vehicle access to existing facilities. Commissioners asked clarifying questions about historic zoning use and nearby properties; staff said the lot was commercial in the past and has been vacant for some time. Commissioner (speaker 7) moved to approve; the motion was seconded and approved by roll call.
