The recommended denial would keep the two Grand Avenue lots under their existing residential zoning rather than allow the higher-density R-3 designation. Commissioners cited concerns about an abrupt change from the surrounding neighborhood pattern and the timing of applying higher-density policy to these lots. Approval of the Lee Street request would allow the property to operate as a short-term rental, subject to applicable requirements.
