Proposed rezone at 1172 Porter Avenue
Discussed
Planning Director Barton Brierley summarized a request to rezone 0.3 acres from R-1-6 to R-2 with a conditional overlay and the 12th Street Corridor Overlay, with the overlay also applied to three parcels to the south, for 17 owner-occupied townhomes under a development agreement requiring ten years of owner occupancy. The Planning Commission recommended approval Aug. 6, 2025. Council members worried about traffic at Adams Avenue and 12th Street, a state highway where a traffic study would normally be required; Vice Chair Richard Hyer noted the plan would remove some existing curb cuts, and Council Member Shaun Myers voiced support.

Approved · 7-0
The Council rezoned 0.3 acres from R-1-6 to R-2 with a conditional overlay and the 12th Street Corridor Overlay, extending the overlay to three parcels near 1180 Porter Avenue and 584 12th Street, for 17 owner-occupied townhomes under a development agreement requiring ten years of owner occupancy. Members raised traffic at Adams Avenue and 12th Street and Chair Marcia White suggested a traffic study. A resident asked why owner occupancy lasts only ten years; Mayor Benjamin Nadolski said the city cannot legislate ownership, but individual platting favors owner occupancy.
