The Planning Commission recommends denial of the zone change, but recommends the City Council initiate an ordinance amendment that would allow this type of use. Summary The applicant is requesting rezoning approval to change the property at 931 Main Street from R-1c to C- 2, to allow her proposed crafting business, in many ways similar to a bed and breakfast. Planning Commission Discussion Although the Planning Commission understood the proposed use and felt it was largely compatible with the given neighborhood, the Commission was very concerned with allowing all commercial uses that would be allowed in the C-2 district ultimately recommending denial of the proposed zone change, but recommending the Council initiate a text amendment that would allow the use. Public Comment There were several comments made during the public hearing, as well as calls before the meeting. Residents voiced their concerns regarding the future commercial uses of the building and of the lack of control of preserving the building. Additionally, residents that spoke felt the line between commercial and residential should be preserved as it stands, and the commercial should not be allowed to encroach further into the residential neighborhood.
