Summary

Ordinance 16‑94 to rezone 707 East Lincoln Street from commercial C‑2 to high‑density residential R‑3 received a favorable planning commission recommendation and passed first reading 6–0.

The board held a public hearing and then approved on first reading Ordinance 16‑94 to rezone the parcel at 707 East Lincoln Street from general commercial C‑2 to high‑density residential R‑3. Planning staff told the board the property had been zoned commercial long ago but is surrounded largely by residential parcels and that the owner sought rezoning back to residential; the planning commission recommended approval.

A representative for the property owner, Barbara Bollinger, said she appeared on behalf of Vernon Cole to ensure the rezoning "goes forward" following a prior meeting's favorable vote. The ordinance passed the vote on first reading, 6–0, and will proceed to second reading per the city's ordinance schedule.
