BoardSpringfield Planning And Zoning Commission Zoning Commission Recommendation
The Commission considered a petition for a zoning reclassification from B-2 General Business Service District to S-3 Central Shopping District, along with a variance request for the property at 300 E. Madison and 227 N. 4th Street. The petitioner proposed developing a five-story building featuring commercial or retail space on the ground floor and four stories of market-rate apartments. Additionally, the request included a variance to allow more than one principal use on the lot to accommodate an existing billboard exceeding 300 square feet. The Commission voted to concur with the staff recommendation and approved the reclassification and variance, while noting the safety concerns raised by the city traffic engineer.
