A rezoning request by the Seventh Day Adventist Church at 517 N. Spring Street was accepted by McMinnville Planning Commission members Tuesday and is on its way to the Board of Mayor and Aldermen for final approval.Church representatives requested last month the property be rezoned from R2, medium-density residential, to R5, a mixed use of residential and commercial.While pastor Haley Roth said the zoning change would allow the church to operate a thrift store and generate revenue, church representative Josephine Abbot said the church could be for sale and the change in zoning would create more interest in the property. Planning Commission members hesitated to allow the change because of spot zoning, meaning the property did not connect to any other R5-zoned property. The property borders R2 property to the north, south, east and west, and a portion of the property borders R3 zones to the east.At that time, staff planner Jonathan Ward warned against spot zoning.“Everything around there is residential,” he said.
