City Council Agenda Statement
Meeting Date: April 15, 2024
To: City Council
Through: Kat Sorensen, City Manager
From: Daniel Meuninck, Community Development Director
Subject:
Ordinance 2024-005; Approving The Land Use Amendment To Rezone
Fort Raymond Subdivision, Replat Number 7, Lot 10A -2, Located A t 905
Sea Lion Ave, From A n Institutional (Ins) Zoning District To A n Auto
Commercial (AC) Zoning District
Background and justification:
On February 12, 2024, the City Council passed Ordinance 2024-001, which approved the
rezone of Fort Raymond Subdivision, Replat No. 7, Lot 10A-1, from an Institutional zoning
district to an Auto-Commercial zoning district. This rezone left Lot 10A-2, a 0.716-acre lot
adjacent to the south, zoned Institutional. Lot 10A-2 is owned by the City of Seward and has
a 100’ wide utility easement running east to west through the Lot. To reconcile the spot
zoning that was created when Lot 10A-1 was rezoned to Auto-Commercial, Community
Development staff brought forward the recommendation to rezone Lot 10A-2 from an
Institutional zoning district to an Auto-Commercial zoning district to the Planning and
Zoning Commission.
On April 2, 2024, the Planning and Zoning Commission approved Resolution 2024-008,
recommending the City Council approve the land use amendment to rezone Lot 10A-2.
The public notification process was complied with and the appropriate public hearing, as
required by Seward City Code §15.01.040.
