Commission backs rezoning of North Hastings Way parcel to enable multifamily or commercial redevelopment
Summary
The planning commission recommended rezoning a 1.4‑acre parcel on North Hastings Way from light industrial to R‑4 (multifamily) or a commercial designation consistent with the comp plan; the commission voted 7-0 to forward the recommendation to City Council.
Staff outlined constraints on a 1.4‑acre light‑industrial parcel along North Hastings Way — steep slopes, limited access and utility routing — and said the comprehensive plan lists the site as a candidate for commercial or multifamily use. Mr. Petrie said final site‑plan review will follow any rezoning and noted that the ownership group has worked with the adjacent neighbor to secure access and utility easements.
The applicant’s representative described likely access from the frontage road and told commissioners the DOT previously lifted an access restriction; he said the team is coordinating final utility routing and may use breakaway bollards for emergency access. Commissioners asked about access points and parking; staff and the applicant said those details will be handled in site‑plan review. The commission voted unanimously to recommend approval to City Council.
