City staff recommends restoring 249 Poplar to R1 to clear title issues for estate sale
Summary
City Planner Matt Ferreira said 249 Poplar was rezoned into an OI designation as part of a broader initiative that never materialized; staff recommended restoring it to R1 residential to facilitate sale by the estate and waived rezoning fees for the current owner.
City Planner Matt Ferreira briefed the council on a city‑initiated rezoning concerning 249 Poplar Street. Staff explained the property was included in a broader rezoning effort in the past but the planned development never occurred, and the lot has remained a single‑family residence; the current owner is acting on behalf of an estate and wishes to sell.
Staff recommended restoring the parcel from OI back to its original R1 residential classification to remove complications for the sale and said the city would not require the current owner to pay rezoning fees or submit a formal application. Council and staff described the issue as rooted in past circumstances rather than any action by the present owner.
