New Business/Public Hearing Case No. P22007 – 203 East Dunklin, Rezoning from C-2 to MU-1. Request filed by Luke and Gretchen Vislay, property owners, for a rezoning of 0.05 acres from C-2 General Commercial to MU-1 Mixed Use. The rezoning request’s purpose is for conversion of an existing structure into a 2-unit residence containing 1-bedroom apartments. The property is located at the northeast corner of the intersection of Madison Street and East Dunklin Street and is described as Part of Inlot No. 823, in the City of Jefferson, Missouri. Ms. Bliss stated the applicant is requesting the rezoning of 0.05 acres from C-2 General Commercial to MU-1 Mixed Use in order to convert the building to a two-unit residential use, with one unit on the first floor and one on the second. Mr. Barron advised all commercial zoning districts in the city can establish loft or basement apartments, but the main level has to be commercial. The current zoning will not work for this request, because the applicant’s intent is to make the building all residenti al. Mr. Barron advised the recommended rezoning to MU-1 appears to be supported by the comprehensive plan that was adopted in 2021. Property owner Gretchen Vislay, 1310 Moreland Ave, presented the case. The applicants purchased this property in February 2022 and also own 205 East Dunklin Street. Ms. Vislay mentioned leasing commercial property in the area has been difficult and hopes making this a residential rental property will be a better use of this location. Ms. Hawk thanked Ms. Vislay for her time and detail that were put into her application. Ms. Hawk agrees this space is not conducive for commercial use, but seems perfect for residential apartment use. Ms. Bliss stated that staff recommends approval of the proposed rezoning. Rezoning from C-2 General Commercial to MU-1 Mixed Use would further allow the applicant to lay out their desired use for the property. Ms. Cotten moved and Ms. Hawk seconded a motion to recommend to the City Council approval of the City Council of the request to rezone the property, consisting of 0.05 acres, from C-2 to MU-1. The motion passed 7-0 with the following votes: Aye: Quigg, Cotton, Fretwell, Hawk, Young, Vogt, and Robinett Nay: None 7. Other New Business 8. Other Business A.
