Development News from the latest meeting
Council Approves Angle Parking on West 21st Street
The City Council considered a resolution to establish angle parking on the north side of West 21st Street, adjacent to the new Core Trust Bank property at 1315 South Minnesota Avenue. The proposed parking would create 11 on-street diagonal spaces, including one accessible space, to be maintained by the property owner. Engineering supports the request as it complies with design standards. Council members discussed parking regulations, particularly regarding vehicle overhangs. The council approved the resolution, moving it to a second reading.
Minor Zoning Adjustment Approved for Subdivision Process
The City Council considered a second reading of an ordinance rezoning property located south of East 10th Street and east of South Six Mile Road. The rezoning, from CN Conservation and RS Single-Family Residential Suburban to the same districts (CN Conservation and RS Single-Family Residential Suburban), aims to clean up the zoning map as the applicant, Allen Development (Douglas R. Allen), continues through the subdivision process. The Planning Commission recommended approval (4-0). The council unanimously approved the ordinance.
City Council Advances Agreement for 1.3-Acre Land Donation to Expand Falls Park
The City Council considered a first reading of an ordinance approving a conditional gifting and naming agreement for real property donation at Falls Park. The Carmen family is donating approximately 1.3 acres north of the quarry at 1200 North Weber Avenue for park expansion. The property, valued at over $1 million, will be named 'Carmen Family Glen at Falls Park.' The agreement includes no cash exchange and specifies the property is gifted 'as is.' Environmental assessments performed by the donor indicated no significant subsurface issues. The closing date is set for February 2027 to allow the current tenant to relocate. The donation aligns with the Falls Park Master Plan for passive recreation. The council also heard about a $15 million Bezos Earth Fund grant potentially covering design, remediation, and improvements for this area. A motion to set a second reading passed.
Church Property Rezoned to Accommodate Expansion
The City Council considered a second reading of an ordinance rezoning property at 2901 East 26th Street from various commercial, suburban, and residential districts to the S1 General Institutional district. The rezoning is for an addition to the First Christian Reform Church, requiring conformity with height regulations. The Planning Commission recommended approval (4-0). The council unanimously approved the ordinance.
Property Rezoned to Align with Existing Duplex Use
The City Council considered a second reading of an ordinance rezoning property at 412 West McClelland Street from RT1 Single-Family Residential Traditional to RD1 Twin Home Duplex Residential Suburban. The applicant, Linda Smith, sought to match the zoning with the existing use of the two parcels and structures on the property, which have long been used as duplexes. The Planning Commission recommended approval (4-0). The council unanimously approved the ordinance.
