Hammond zone change, 600 W. State Street (Ordinance 45-2025)
Tabled · 4-1
Justin Hammond proposed rezoning 0.83 acres from Mixed Use to Heavy Commercial for an office warehouse. Council Members Stallings and Newall were concerned about proximity to homes and the broad range of heavy commercial uses; Newall preferred the warehouse to earlier drive-through plans. A resident cautioned against incompatible zone changes. Council Member Hancock and Mayor Johnson suggested a development agreement locking in the office warehouse use with buffering. The council tabled the ordinance and directed staff to craft an agreement allowing office warehouse with no outside storage and buffering for neighbors, possibly leaving the zone as Mixed Use with the added use. Council Member Condie asked whether the applicant was being asked to negotiate for lesser rights. The minutes' narrative says 3-2 but the roll call shows 4-1.
