IV. PUBLIC HEARINGS
PC 18-2025: Forest Creek, LLC; Petition to Rezone from B-2 Neighborhood
Business to R-6 Multiple Family Residential for property located at the
northwest corner of Viebahn and S. 42nd Streets.
P. Braun reviewed the location and request. He stated that the property
was originally zoned B-2 Neighborhood Business giving the owners the
ability to construct offices on the property if the market demand was there.
The B-2 zoning district also allows multiple family which would have to
follow the R-5 Low Density Multiple Family lot standards which require
larger setbacks. Forest Creek LLC is looking to build three 10 unit
apartments versus 8 units in the existing buildings. With the larger 10 unit
building foot prints and site constraints between the existing storm water
pond and clubhouse a smaller setback between buildings was needed
which the R-6 zoning district provided. He stated that notices were sent to
neighbors and that no comments were received.
