    Workshop: rezone of a small Adams Neighborhood lot on 200 East to TC-2, Ordinance 25-15

    Discussed

    A property owner asked to rezone 0.21 acres from NR-6 to Town Center Two, which would legalize a third unit in a rear garage apartment; the property is a legal nonconforming two-unit site and a 2009 request to recognize a third unit was denied. Staff recommended approval and the Planning Commission voted 4-0 on August 14 to approve. Council members asked about parking, unit counts and whether commercial mix is required.

    • Acres: 0.21
    • Current zone → proposed: NR-6 → TC-2
    • Planning Commission: approved 4-0, August 14, 2025

    Adams Neighborhood rezone to TC-2, 200 East, Ordinance 25-15 (public hearing)

    Denied · 4-1

    The council denied a rezone of 0.21 acres from NR-6 to Town Center Two that would have legalized a third unit in a rear garage apartment. Staff recommended approval and the Planning Commission voted 4-0 to approve. Chair Simmonds said a neighbor reported an unpermitted deck over the canal and opposed approval until that is addressed. Council Member Amy Anderson was torn and preferred to wait for the General Plan and worried about legalizing a nonconforming structure; Mark Anderson said the property will likely become TC-2 eventually and the question is timing; Johnson had reservations. Gail Yost opposed converting residential land to TC-2.

    • Acres: 0.21
    • Current zone → proposed: NR-6 → TC-2
    • Staff recommendation: approve
    • Planning Commission: approved 4-0, August 14, 2025

    Moved by Council Member Ernesto López, seconded by Council Member Amy Anderson. Vote: 4-1 to deny; Council Member Mark Anderson voted no

    Workshop: rezone of a small Adams Neighborhood lot to TC-2, Ordinance 26-13

    Discussed

    The council previewed a second request to rezone 0.21 acres from NR-6 to Town Center Two to legalize a third unit in a detached garage, after the council denied a similar request in September 2025 pending the updated Future Land Use Plan. The Planning Commission recommended approval 4-1, the dissent citing redevelopment and canal setback concerns. Action was set for August 4.

  4. August 4, 2026 · City Council

    Rezone of a 0.21-acre Adams Neighborhood lot from NR-6 to TC-2, Ordinance 26-13 (public hearing)

    Approved · 4-1

    The council rezoned the lot across from the temple so a third unit in a garage apartment can be legal; TC-2 would allow up to six units but the owner seeks three. The home dates to 1909, a garage apartment to 1979 and a studio built in 1980 without a permit. The Planning Commission recommended approval 4-1. Staff said the canal setback is a grandfathered nonconformity, parking requirements are met and the earlier denial was based on General Plan timing and spot zoning concerns that no longer applied. Joshua Molitor and Linda Johnson supported approval. Council Member Simmonds voted no.
