Collins Street Properties Rezoning
When the City's Main Street Overlay District was adopted, the entire corridor was to be commercially zoned excluding a small section, which is zoned industrial. The properties that front Collins Street were included in the Overlay, but were never rezoned from residential to commercial.
Several property owners on Collins Street have expressed interest in having their property rezoned to C-1 (Light Commercial District). As it was the City’s original intent to have these properties zoned C-1, we would like to move forward with a Zoning Map Amendment application for properties that front Collins Street. This rezoning will not affect how the owners use the property currently; it will only provide them with more opportunities if they wish to develop the property commercially in the future. The rezoning would will also not affect property taxes (unless the use is changed).
The City will be hosting a Town Hall meeting to answer any questions citizens may have about the rezoning on Tuesday, June 13 at 5:30 p.m. at City Hall in Council Chambers on the third floor.
