Council approves Jasper Lot land-use change at 570 East Main from residential to commercial
Summary
Council adopted Resolution No. 2026-03-09R to change approximately 0.26 acres at 570 East Main from Residential High Density to General Commercial (likely GC-1). Council members debated neighborhood compatibility and residential sellability before approving the change.
The council voted to approve a land use map amendment for the Jasper Lot at 570 East Main Street, changing 0.26 acres from the Residential High Density designation to General Commercial (Resolution No. 2026-03-09R). Development Services Director Patrick O’Brien presented staff analysis, noting the parcel sits in an R2-7500 area and that the proposed change would create the only General Commercial land-use parcel on that street; he said the most compatible zoning would likely be GC-1 and that conversion to commercial could prevent continued residential occupancy depending on future building standard changes.
Council members questioned whether the home could realistically be sold or used as a residence if converted; Council Member Staci Carroll said she did not believe it could be sold as a residence in that condition. After discussion of compatibility with surrounding uses (including proximity to Sydney’s Bed and Biscuit), Council Member Carroll moved to adopt the resolution; the motion passed 4–0 with one member absent. The resolution changes the future land-use designation; any rezoning, development permit, or building standard changes will follow separate land-use and zoning procedures.
