Council approves rezoning for four lots on Portland Street to allow duplexes
Summary
The council unanimously approved a request by John Barthol to rezone four lots in the Sympatics addition at the 3200 block of Portland Street from commercial to multifamily so the applicant can build four duplexes; no members of the public spoke in opposition or in favor during the hearing.
The council opened a public hearing on a rezoning request for four lots at the 3200 block of Portland Street. Planning staff said the applicant, John Barthol, asked to change the zoning from commercial to multifamily to allow construction of four duplexes that would face Portland Street.
Planning and Zoning had unanimously recommended the change and staff noted surrounding parcels include multifamily zoning and new homes across the street. The council opened the hearing, heard no public testimony, a councilmember moved to approve and another councilmember seconded. The chair called the vote and the motion passed unanimously.
There were no reported conditions or amendments recorded in the meeting; the planning staff and council characterized the change as lowering rather than increasing intensity (commercial → multifamily) and said it was consistent with nearby uses.
