“Well, especially depending on how he lays it out, if he did something similar to what his other concept was, you know, having kind of almost that little circle drive definitely alleviates some of the flow. But I believe Mark's is a wider street than 20th anyway. It is. Okay. Okay. All right. With that, do we have a motion?”

“First by Candy. I'll second. Oh, okay. We got two seconds. All right. All in favor? Aye. Aye. Okay. 7-0. So our next zoning is Z26-11, 622 East 44th Street, which is SMD number two. A request for zone change from the single family residential zoning district to RS6, which is three and four family residential zoning district located at 622 East 44th Street.”

“But with that being said, they would be not connected in RS-5, but you could still have the same density in RS-5 because it's infill as RS-6.”

“All right. Any questions on that for Aaron?”

“Yeah, since they're deeper technically, I think you could do a quadplex without compromising square footage.”

“So it could be up to eight units? Yes, ma'am. But again, it's in RS5, or sorry, it's in, yeah.”

“But they could still appeal the fact that we put RS-2 zoning on it and come back... Or different, correct? Or no?”

“Or, I mean, like, can they bring a, what's the, it has to be a minimum on a comprehensive, or a PD, right?”

“Okay. Okay. I think they would be more appropriate. Well, let's see what our public comment looks like.”

“Awesome. Thank you, sir, for your time this morning. All right. Do we have any? Okay. We will go ahead and close public comment. This might be a general question, and Candy might be able to answer this more than anyone. If it's a duplex, it doesn't need to be condoed, and it can be sold as individual units, correct?”
Planning Commission · Sep 21, 2026

“Okay. If it's a quadplex, tri or quad, it generally needs to be a condo association, correct? And then it's typically sold as a package unit,”

“Well, because I'm just looking at some other projects that have happened around town. What is it called? The Heart. Like, that one's a condo association. The one that's over our town and country is a condo association. Mm-hmm. one by sunresis is so and then there down holiday there were some individual units built on the left and those were sold individually but then there were quad plexes that had to be sold as a package so i think that's also something that we need to take into consideration you know if it's rs Six, if it's a condo, it would be most likely individual rentals or it would be…”

“So in RS, and again, apologies for other questions, because this is new to all of us. In RS-6, can we say you can only do three units versus four, or it just doesn't matter? You cannot. So we cannot put that restriction on there?”

“And again, just to reiterate, we can recommend RS2. The applicant has the ability to come back and we'll first take to city council, see what they say, but they can come back and say, no, that doesn't work for my... business model, I'm going to do a replat and I'm going to do RS5 and have the same density. So that is just, so we're all on the same page. That is an option. That's correct.”

“So regardless where we end up, I definitely think for the neighborhood it will be an improvement over vacant homes. Vacant homes lead to vandalism and other issues that we're very well aware of as a community, as well as increasing... the property taxes brought in to the city. So even if we're not all in agreement on what the applicant has submitted, I personally believe that zoning higher than RS1 makes sense for the neighborhood. Again, your walkability to school and whatnot in that neighborhood. I just want to make sure that there's adequate parking off street.”

“And refresh me again on the subject property lower that we did a PD on that, or that was...”

“Okay. Okay. Other thoughts or motion from anyone?”

“So is that a motion or is that a recommendation? Sure, I'll make that a motion. Okay, perfect. Thank you. All right, so we've got a motion denying the current zoning of RS6 and recommending RS2. Second. Okay, we've got a motion and a second. All in favor? Aye. Aye. Sorry, those were you and I. Okay, all right. 7-0 with a recommendation of RS-2 zoning versus RS-6. Our final rezoning case for today is Z26-07-902 West 19th Street, which is SMD number four. A request for approval, the zone change for the neighborhood commercial zoning district to three and four family residential are a six for…”

“Okay. And you've got, what, overhead door and then the railroad and industrial? Correct.”

“Oh, it's electrical. But there is a railroad dividing that, okay?”

“So my question, and this might be an Aaron question. Ray, can you go back to the, thank you, the zoning division plan. So when we're doing our comp plan amendment and cleanup and all of that, obviously there's, well, I guess it would just be the second lot. Okay, nevermind, single family. Okay. Okay, forget my question. I answered it myself. I just didn't look hard enough. Okay, any questions for Ray? No?”

“Okay. Perfect. Thank you. Okay. I'm going to close public comment and open for discussion. Motion? I mean... I think with the fact that it backs currently heavy commercial and it's near a minor collector, I think the higher density zoning on that makes sense. You've got commercial frontage and then it kind of gives you that buffer point into the residential and this is definitely a neighborhood that needs some revitalization and whatnot. So I think this completely makes sense with the vision plan going forward with the city. Any other thoughts? Anyone want to make a motion? I'll move to…”
