Commission forwards rezoning of Irvington Street parcels (C-1/C-2 → R-1), excluding RDA parcel 901
Summary
The commission recommended rezoning a set of parcels on Irvington Street from general commercial (C-1/C-2) to low-density residential (R-1) to resolve long-standing nonconforming residential uses, but excluded parcel 901 to preserve redevelopment options; the recommendation goes to council Aug. 18.
Plan Commission staff recommended rezoning a group of parcels on the east side of Irvington Street from general commercial (C-1/C-2) to low-density residential (R-1) to match the proposed comprehensive-plan amendment and to reduce the nonconforming status that has limited homeowners' ability to make improvements or obtain financing.
Staff noted the change is intended to bring existing single-family homes into conformity and to provide a clearer path for repairs, rebuilding and sales. Commissioners debated whether office-residential (OR) or neighborhood-commercial (NC) transitional zones might better balance homeowner needs and future redevelopment. Concerns included setbacks and landscape buffers along Military Avenue for any future adjacent redevelopment.
After discussion the commission moved to approve the rezoning as proposed, adding C-2 to the rezoning list where applicable and excluding parcel 901 (Redevelopment Authority-owned vacant lot) from the R-1 conversion. The motion carried and will be forwarded to the Common Council for the Aug. 18 meeting.
