Summary
The council approved on second reading a rezone by Jeff Tavener to change a property along Highway 11 from A-2 (apartment) to Planned Development to allow mixed uses including an automated car wash and retail space; P&Z recommended approval with a development schedule and screening to buffer Oak Meadow Townhomes.
Commerce — The City Council voted to approve on second reading a rezoning request by Jeff Tavener to change a parcel along Highway 11 from A-2 apartment dwelling district to a Planned Development (PD) district to allow mixed commercial uses, including a car wash and retail space.
Why it matters: The property (Property ID 37618) sits on Highway 11 near the Culver/Business 11 branch and is adjacent to Oak Meadow Townhomes. Staff said Planning & Zoning recommended approval on Sept. 4 with conditions that include a development schedule and a landscaping and screening plan to buffer the nearby residential townhomes in case of noise or other impacts.
Mister Harper, director of community development, told the council the site has been reviewed by multiple city departments (fire, traffic and infrastructure) and that the applicant has submitted a development schedule. There were no public comments at the hearing.
The council moved and approved the second reading by voice vote.
What’s next: Development will proceed under the PD conditions; staff will enforce the required landscaping and screening and track development schedule milestones.
