Consider and take action on Preliminary Zoning Approval for the zoning change of 601 4th St N, 607 4th St N, & 416 6th St N from District "D-1" (Limited Service) to District "A" (Single Family Residential) for the purpose of constructing new single family residences.

In April 2024, the TCEDC successfully sought the abandonment of a dedicated alley and the replatting of several non-compliant vacant lots on property it owned at the northwest corner of 6th Ave N and 4th Street N. The property was replatted into four compliant lots for the purpose of single-family residential new construction. At the time of replatting, the zoning of the property was misidentified as District "A" (Single Family Residential), when in fact it was zoned District "D-1" (Limited Services). The current owners of the properties request rezoning to District "A" (Single Family Residential).

The future land use plan shows this area as being "Established Neighborhoods," where the area is generally characterized by satisfactory housing conditions. This land use category also recognizes that undeveloped tracts should become residential.The existing land uses around this site are all single-family residential. The zoning designation north and west of and adjacent to the site is District "C" (Multifamily), but the existing structures are single-family. The zoning designation south of the site across 6th Ave N is District "C" (Multifamily), but the existing structures are single-family. The zoning designation east of the site across 4th Street N is District "A" (Single Family Residential).

The Zoning Commission held a public hearing upon notice to adjacent property owners on October 21, 2025.  The Notice of the Zoning Commission Hearing was mailed to 29 property owners within 200 ft.  No letters of opposition were received, and one person appeared at the hearing held on October 21, 2025, but did not oppose the zoning change.  After conducting the public hearing and having all questions answered by the Applicant, the Zoning Commission voted 4-0 to recommend approval of the zoning change from District "D-1" (Limited Service) to District "A" (Single Family Residential) for the purpose of construction new single family residences.

The Zoning Commission held a public hearing and considered the zoning change for four lots located at the northwest quadrant of the intersection of 6th Ave N and 4th Street N at its regular meeting on October 21, 2025 and voted (4-0) to recommend approval of the zoning change from District D-1 (Limited SErvice) to District A (Single Family Residential) for the purpose of constructing new single family residences.
