Re: Zone Change — 685 Broadway — Map -Lot R41-027 — General Commercial & Service District
(GC&S) to Shopping & Personal Services (S&PS) District
Please accept this memorandum as the recommendation from the Planning Board for the noted item. The
Planning Board considered this item in a noticed public hearing on July 6, 2022.
The meeting was conducted in the Council Chambers at City Hall and on Zoom. Members in attendance in the
Chambers were the Chair, Ken Huhn, and Members Don Meagher, Ted Brush, Reece Perkins, Lisa Shaw, and
Mike Bazinet.
The applicant, Jordan Chapman, reviewed the request for the Board.
There were no questions from the public.
From the staff report:
A. The applicant seeks to change the property located at 685 Broadway from a General Commercial
& Service District (GC&S) contract zone to the Shopping & Personal Services District (S&PS).
The current contract conditions on the property stipulate that it must remain a vehicle display lot;
the applicant wishes to remove these conditions and change the zone to allow for their potential
development on this property and the adjacent property at 699 Broadway.
B. The current zoning surrounding this property is S&PS and this area is shown as S&PS in the 2012
Comprehensive Plan.
Board members were pleased to approve a zoning change to bring a property in compliance with the
Comprehensive Plan.
Member Brush made a motion to recommend to the City Council that the application for a district change ought
to pass. Member Perkins seconded the motion. The motion passed 6:0.
