(BEDFORD) – The Bedford Plan Commission denied the request of Paul F. Miller and Steve Miller to change the zoning at 905 O Street and 1508 O Street which is presently zoned R-4 high density residential district, to be changed to B-2 central business district.
In denying the request the commission noted the property was recently sold to Brad Hawkins and the transaction took place over a week ago.
Plan Commission Member Bryon Buker felt it was not right to move on with the approval process because Steve Miller is no longer the legal owner of the property.
The commission unanimously agreed to deny the request.
The commission held a preliminary hearing on Kyla Terrell’s request for a special exception at 727 Columbus Avenue. The property is currently zoned as R-3 medium density residential district. Terrell was wanted a special exception to run a daycare on the property.
Kyla stated during the meeting she operated the daycare for a period of two years and was advised she did not have to do anything permit-wise to start the business. According to Terrell she did know she was in violation until she was contacted by Planning Director Brandon Woodward.
Woodward stated he received a complaint that the daycare was being operated illegally in a residential neighborhood that was not zoned for commercial use. Woodward explained the process to her and that she would need request a special exception to run the daycare.
Woodward asked the Plan Commission to move the request to the Board of Zoning. The commission agreed to do that.
