Commission approves rezoning of 645 W. Diamond Drive to allow service-commercial uses
Summary
The commission adopted an ordinance rezoning a 1.88-acre vacant lot on West Diamond Drive from C-7 to C-5, aligning the parcel with adjacent service-commercial properties; planning staff said public utilities are in place and the planning commission recommended approval 8–0.
The commission voted to adopt ordinance 26-11294 to rezone a 1.88-acre tract at 645 West Diamond Drive from C-7 Highway Commercial to C-5 Service Commercial. Dustin Michaelson of planning and zoning said the lot has remained vacant since 1974 and that transitioning to C-5 would make development more viable and consistent with neighboring properties, including existing equipment dealerships.
Michaelson noted the site partially lies within a special flood-hazard area, so any development would have to comply with floodplain-development criteria; he also said public utilities are in place thanks to a 2008 benefit district that extended water, sewer and paving to the corridor. The planning commission conducted a public hearing on July 21 and recommended approval 8–0; the city commission adopted the ordinance on a recorded 4–0 vote.
