City‑initiated rezoning for small Holford parcel approved to allow cohesive redevelopment
Summary
The Plan Commission approved a city‑initiated rezoning that adds a small triangular parcel at 1471 Holford Road to an adjacent PD (PD84‑96), enabling coordinated multifamily redevelopment; staff cited SB 840 as allowing multifamily in such commercial/PD contexts.
The commission approved a city‑initiated zoning change to reclassify a roughly half‑acre triangular parcel at 1471 Holford Road from Agricultural (AG) to Planned Development District PD84‑96 so the property can be incorporated into adjacent PD redevelopment plans.
Ryan Mulkey, long‑range planner with Planning & Development, explained the request and noted state law (SB 840) allows multifamily development in many commercial and PD districts: “SB 840 allows, multifamily development on any properties that are zoned for commercial, office, warehouse, retail, or a PD… so this request is pretty simple. It’s just to rezone the site to align with the zoning of that adjacent PD.” Mulkey said the change would help the larger area develop cohesively and that the rezoning would require any future development to meet updated GDC multifamily standards.
Commissioners supported the swap of tracts with the adjacent property owner and approved the request without opposition; staff said 11 notices were mailed and no responses were received. The item now proceeds toward whatever administrative steps are needed for inclusion in future multifamily development plans.
