jhadsall@joplinglobe.com The Joplin City Council will consider a rezoning issue that has generated complaints from neighbors. The council is being asked to consider during its meeting today at 6 p.m. rezoning the property at 2927 E. 18th St. from residential to commercial. The city’s planning and zoning commission recommended denial of the rezoning, with a 6-0 vote, during its meeting on June 9. Owners Frank and Suzanne Eskandari requested the rezoning of the property so that it could match neighboring commercially zoned properties. According to minutes from the June 9 meeting, Suzanne Eskandari said she was in the process of trying to sell the 12,000-square-foot property. City documents indicate the property’s southern neighbor is zoned commercial and the eastern neighbor is zoned for office use. Neighboring properties to the north and west are zoned for single-family residential, just like the Eskandari property. Three residents, who each live about two blocks away from the property, spoke against the rezoning and additional commercial development in the area. The council will hold a public hearing during its meeting Monday night. Final approval of the rezoning would come at a later meeting. In other business, the council will: Consider the purchase of right of way along the intersection of Connecticut and 26th streets. The council will consider buying right of way from Immanuel Evangelical Lutheran Church for $11,500. The purchase is part of a $7.2 million expansion of Connecticut Avenue. The church building lies on the southwest corner of the intersection. Hold a public hearing for rezoning three parcels of land along the 2300 block of Connecticut Avenue from single-family residential to commercial. Owner David Glenn is proposing to build a single building for office space across the three parcels, which combined are about 73,370 square feet. According to his application, Glenn said the building would be used for professional company office space or high-end retail stores. The planning and zoning commission recommended approval during its June 9 meeting.
