SUMMARY RECOMMENDATION: The Development Review Committee members reviewed the Zoning Amendment request during their July 2, 2025 meeting and recommend approval. BACKGROUND: In July 1983, the City Council approved a request by the library to construct an addition that would slightly extend over the property line into City Public Parking Lot L, 140 S Cherry St. Now that the library will be selling their property, the City Council at their July 7, 2025 meeting approved the sale of approximately 610 square feet of land to the Library so there are clearly defined property lines and the entire building is on one parcel. With the approved sale of the strip of land, the next step is to amend the zoning of that strip of land to B3, Central Business District so it is the same as the zoning of the former library at 40 E Simmons St that was approved in December 2024. The purpose of the B3 District is to provide for a wide range of businesses and services typically located in an urban downtown environment such as retail, residential, governmental, office, cultural, hotel, entertainment and ancillary uses. This district also serves to maintain the traditional business core of the city, and allow a mix of businesses, office, governmental and residential uses to encourage social, cultural and civic functions. The 2019 Comprehensive Plan indicates this area to be Downtown Mixed Use (which is B3). It is anticipated this item will go to the City Council August 4th on First reading and August 18th on Final reading. SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS: 1. Criteria for zoning amendments 2.
