Stopped by City Hall with some questions about the recently enacted TIF districts and found an interesting quirk in the zoning for the old National Guard Armory at the corner of Oakland and Sycamore that recently sold Most of the property is zoned single family residential, meaning only houses on a certain sized lot (8000 square feet, I think) unless the property either gets rezones or a special use exemption.
However, the parking lot for the building is zoned multi family, meaning a developer could build townhouses or apartments only on that part of the property without seeking a rezoning but not on the rest of the grounds. Weird little glitch in the zoning boundaries and the owner still could not develop it for business use without getting a rezoning request through the planning commission and city council.
