Planning commission backs rezoning; council tables two rezoning ordinances for one week
Summary
Planning staff and the Planning & Zoning Commission recommended rezoning multiple parcels to R‑3 (high‑density residential); council accepted the letters into the record but tabled Ordinances 2026‑32 and 2026‑33 for one week after noting omitted packet materials.
Council received four letters reporting a unanimous Planning & Zoning Commission recommendation and a staff review supporting rezoning in the vicinity of 609 N. 7th Street and 11 parcels on McCook Boulevard to R‑3 high‑density residential. Urban Projects Director Jessica Gumm told council the City’s Land Use Plan "identifies proposed future land use in this vicinity as Traditional Residential" and concluded the proposal "appears to be compatible with adjacent uses." Council accepted the recommendation letters into the record on a motion by Councilman McManamon, seconded by Councilman Albaugh (roll call: all ayes).
Despite the Commission’s positive recommendation, Council postponed final action because two rezoning ordinances were missing from the meeting packet. Councilman Mayo moved to table Ordinance No. 2026‑32 (rezoning 609 N. 7th Street) and Ordinance No. 2026‑33 (rezoning 11 parcels on McCook Blvd.) for one week; both motions passed on roll call (all ayes). The ordinances will return for consideration on the council agenda next week.
