Summary

Commissioners discussed roughly 40 city‑owned vacant lots in R‑2 (Parkview and Lambert), road extension needs in the Lambert subdivision, and potential opportunities for private developers to assemble lots for infill housing. Staff said mapping will identify which lots are buildable.

Commissioners discussed city‑owned parcels in Parkview and the nearby Lambert subdivision that could become buildable with ordinance changes and limited infrastructure work.

Lonnie said he has identified roughly 40 vacant lots owned by the city that could be candidates for sale or development once setbacks and minimum widths are adjusted; he noted some lots would need to be combined to become buildable. He also said the Lambert subdivision would require approximately 600 feet of road extension to open six additional lots for development.

Commissioners asked staff to prepare a list of specific parcel numbers and maps showing which city‑owned lots would be affected by the proposed R‑2 changes, and to flag any lots lacking road access or requiring capital improvements.
