The Planning and Zoning Commission approved a subdivision‑ordinance variance to reduce the minimum required frontage along 18th Street from 100 feet to 73 feet for a property with an existing building constructed in the 1940s.
Staff reported that the house and lot configuration predate current ordinances and that prior to issuing a certificate of occupancy the lot must be platted; staff analyzed the request and concluded the variance met the findings because surrounding development and parcel sizes created unique constraints. There were no registered speakers in opposition.
On a motion and second the commission approved the variance; the motion was recorded as passing with the tally shown as “720” in the transcript.
