Planner: JCI Highway 93 parcel rezoning aligns with comp plan after Mercy Housing pullback
Summary
City planner told council the JCI property on Highway 93 should be rezoned from RM-4 to CP-2 after Mercy Housing lost grant funding for an anticipated affordable housing project; staff said CP-2 better matches the corridor’s frontage and commercial pattern.
Jacob, the city planning staff member, presented the JCI property rezoning to council and explained the site was reclassified from RM-4 to CP-2 because a previously pursued Mercy Housing grant did not materialize. Jacob said the change reflects the city’s comprehensive plan and the property's Highway 93 frontage.
Jacob noted the planning commission issued a positive recommendation for this rezoning. He told council the city will still pursue affordable housing opportunities where possible but that leaving the property as multifamily without safeguards risks student-oriented or other high-density residential conversion along the Highway 93 frontage.
