Resident opposes buy: parcel is zoned residential, plan unclear
Summary
A resident told the commission the parcel is in a residential zone and questioned what the city intends to do with the building, urging officials to focus on infrastructure rather than expansion into neighborhoods.
During the public-comment period, Linda Connors of Northeast 25th Street asked what the city plans to do with the property and urged caution about expanding municipal facilities into a residential zone. "I'm opposed to the expansion... it's zoned residential," she said, asking why the city needs additional property and whether municipal uses belong next to houses.
Connors, who said she previously worked in the area, recommended the commission focus on infrastructure needs rather than acquiring property she characterized as a "want" rather than a need. The commission acknowledged her comments; the meeting adjourned after the public-comment period.
