More from the minutes
- “Discussion was held regarding Planning staff’s reasons to not support the rezoning, need for a sidewalk on the other side of the road from the proposed rezoning parcels; whether nearby developments are occupied or still being constructed; and are we really getting what we wanted in this area.”
- “If approved: this site has potential to provide new homes for 6-10 families (possibly a few more) in the near future, in a manner compatible with the existing homes lining the east side of Roberts St.”
- “OR If denied: this site will remain vacant with the hope that one day a new developer will purchase it and provide a single structure containing new homes for 8-12 families (possibly a few more) plus a small commercial space.”

Read the motion as recorded
“Councilwoman Roney moved to deny the zoning request for the properties located at 28 Roberts St from River Arts Form District - Neighborhood Transition (RAD-NT) to Residential Multi-Family Medium Density (RM-8) and find that the request is not reasonable, is not in the public interest, is not consistent with the city’s comprehensive plan and does not meet the development needs of the community in that the request does not: 1) prioritize form-based codes or design guidelines in designated growth areas; 2) implement design guidelines, form-based codes and/or similar zoning for parcels within transit-supportive centers to achieve the transit-supportive strategy; and 3) explore the appropriate utilization of form-based codes and design standards to yield strong, innovative, and contextual design that addresses appearance in addition to form, particularly in areas identified in the plan’s growth areas.”
