Top issues during term (6)(Zoning)
Auto repair shop planned development at 505 Thompson Drive
The business would add sales tax revenue and put a vacant building back on the tax rolls, but the city is spending staff and attorney time redrafting the ordinance.
Comprehensive plan update timing
A full plan rewrite could run $50,000–$100,000 in consultant and legal costs.
RVs occupied as residences and home-based businesses in residential zones
Bragg claims unenforced commercial zoning next to homes is knocking roughly 20% off nearby property values, which could chip away at the city's tax base.
451 Betcham Drive zoning question
Rezoning of 631 S. Lake Dallas Drive
Not quantified, but unresolved tank issues could complicate the redevelopment timeline.
Short-Term Rental Regulations
A registration fee would be set through the city's Master Fee Schedule to cover admin costs, plus possible extra hotel tax revenue.
