Future Land Use Map Amendment No. 2022-02 & Rezoning No. 2022-14 (Melton Estates Third / 2206 East 25th Street): Mitch Humphrey of Buffalo Surveying Corp. presented for the Evangelical Lutheran Good Samaritan Society and MP-Kearney, LLC. The proposal requested a change in the future land use map from MDR (Medium Density Residential) and MU2 (Office/Commercial Retail Mixed Use) to MU3 (Commercial Mixed Use) for two parcels, and a rezoning of a portion of Lot 1, Melton Estates Third from R-3/PD (Urban Residential Multi-Family / Planned Development Overlay) to M-1 (Limited Industrial District) to allow expansion of the adjacent Saling Kenworth business. Staff found the amendment consistent with the comprehensive plan and adjacent uses. The commission approved both items unanimously.

Partial Subdivision Vacation No. 1981-07, Preliminary Plat No. 2022-15, Final Plat No. 2022-15 (BSB Addition): Craig Bennett of Miller & Associates represented BSB Investments LLC. The proposal vacated a portion of Lot 1, Block 6, Colonial Estates 4th Addition and created a 9-lot subdivision (4 lots on the north, 5 on the south, plus Outlot A for stormwater detention) on a 2.84-acre site between 19th and 20th Avenues, south of 44th Street. The development would feature cottage-style homes on smaller lots, with a private ingress/egress easement and a hammerhead turnaround to avoid through traffic near Windy Hills Elementary School.
