Commission recommends rezoning 640-square-foot strip next to former library to B3 downtown mixed-use
Summary
Staff explained a narrow strip of land south of the former public library (about 640 sq ft) encroached in a 1983 addition; council approved selling the strip to the library and staff recommended rezoning it from Institutional to B3 to match the building and the 2019 comprehensive plan; the commission moved to approve PZ 25373 and the motion carried by voice vote.
Planning staff described a rezoning request covering a narrow strip of land (about 640 square feet) immediately south of the former public library building. The chair said the city council recently approved selling that strip to the library and that a 1983 addition had been constructed slightly over the property line into the city parking lot.
Staff proposed rezoning the strip from Institutional to B3 (downtown mixed-use) so the zoning of the parcel matches the building and surrounding downtown district. The chair noted the 2019 comprehensive plan designates the area as downtown mixed use and said the development review committee considered the request at its July 2 meeting and recommended approval.
The chair said the commission's recommendation would go to city council on Aug. 4 for first reading and, absent suspension of rules, to final reading on Aug. 18. A representative from the library was present for the discussion but did not speak in the provided segments.
The commission then considered a motion. "I move to approve PZ 2 5 3 7 3," the chair stated; a second was recorded and the commission proceeded by voice vote with those present answering "Aye." The transcript segments provided do not contain a roll-call tally or recorded individual votes.
