Summary

The commission voted to initiate rezoning of a city‑owned parcel from RS3 to B2 to allow House of Gearhart to acquire and improve an adjacent parking lot; commissioners asked staff to confirm that sale terms require the buyer to complete parking improvements.

The City Plan Commission agreed to initiate rezoning of a city‑owned parcel at 7525 40th Avenue from RS3 (single‑family) to B2 (Community Business) to enable House of Gearhart to acquire the site and improve its parking area.

Staff said the city previously acquired the parcel during a sewer project and has entered an agreement with House of Gearhart to sell the land, with the buyer proposing to expand and upgrade the parking lot to city standards. Commissioners asked whether the sale will include contractual obligations requiring the purchaser to perform the parking improvements; staff said they will check the sale terms and noted the buyer already has parking lot plans on file.

The commission moved to initiate the rezoning and will review the formal rezoning application and sale conditions at a future meeting.
