Summary

Council approved rezoning for 1233 and 1235 16th Street South after staff described ambiguous historic use; a supporter said the property has functioned as a duplex for decades and the developer confirmed intent to rent both units.

The council approved rezoning of 1233 and 1235 16th Street South to permit conversion to a duplex. Planning staff said the property had evidence both for and against prior duplex use and recommended rezoning to regularize the building’s status and allow the owner to rent the upper unit.

During the public hearing, resident James Troop said the property had served as a duplex for roughly four decades and expressed support. Developer Spencer Nicolati confirmed the property has two meters and two addresses and that he intends to rent both units once rezoning is complete. Council Member Stein moved to approve; the motion was seconded and passed by voice vote.
