Spring-StreetWEB
The city board is scheduled to decide on Tuesday night if this property on Spring Street will be zoned commercial. It was formerly a used car lot, but its lost its grandfather status in whats a residential area.
City officials will decide the zoning fate of the Spring Street Motors property on Tuesday night at 7 p.m. The property’s current owner, Scottie Keel, requested of McMinnville Regional Planning Commission to consider changing the property’s zoning from primarily residential (R-2) to a mixed residential-commercial (R-5). Keel said he wants to continue the current commercial use of the property and renovate it into office spaces. “Since it’s been a car lot for 50 years, I wasn’t wanting to take it to total commercial but to open the options a little bit to some professional offices,” said Keel.What seems like an easy request is far from it.
