Commission recommends rezoning of 808 Oak Street to allow new single-family home
Summary
Commission recommended rezoning 808 Oak Street from C‑3 to RD‑5 to permit a new single-family residence; the property owner (Charles) told commissioners the home will be set back to allow stacked parking and staff recommended approval citing consistency with surrounding residential development.
The Planning and Zoning Commission voted to recommend rezoning case RZ25-05, changing 808 Oak Street from Commercial District (C-3) to Residential District RD-5 to accommodate a new single-family dwelling. Staff planner Michaela Dickinson said the property is narrow (about 50 feet by 200 feet) and that the C-3 classification combined with required no-development buffers would make redevelopment impractical; staff recommended approval to align the parcel with surrounding residential uses.
A commissioner asked whether the developer would set the house back to allow longer driveways and stacked parking; the property owner, introduced by a commissioner as Charles, replied, "Yes. I built the 2 houses next to it ... The 35 is not a problem," confirming the intent to push the house back to accommodate parking. Resident Anita Spinoitz, speaking during the public comment period, expressed support for new development and the neighborhood improvements. The commission moved, seconded and voted unanimously to recommend approval to the Bryan City Council.
