Council rezones downtown lot to regional commercial, declares ordinance an emergency
Summary
The council approved Ordinance No. 989, rezoning a downtown lot from light industrial to regional commercial to allow a car-lot use, and immediately declared the ordinance an emergency to make it effective immediately.
The council voted to approve Ordinance No. 989 to change the zoning classification of Lot 6, Lot 339 in the city from light industrial to regional commercial. Staff said the property owner plans to operate a car lot and asked the council to approve the rezoning to allow the intended use.
Council members asked clarifying questions about the parcel and use; staff confirmed the rezoning request covered the specified parcel on West Cherokee Street. A motion to adopt the ordinance passed on roll call, and the council separately voted to declare the ordinance an emergency so it would take effect immediately.
The council's action permits the owner to proceed with development for vehicle sales consistent with regional commercial zoning. Staff noted standard next steps for permitting and inspections that follow a zoning change and emergency adoption.
