Rezoning for Commercial Development
City leaders are reviewing zoning code updates that would empower the Board of Adjustment to grant special exceptions, specifically for residential carports encroaching into front setbacks, while simultaneously removing portable buildings as a permitted conditional use in commercial zones.
Mission Economic Development Corporation (MEDC) Audit & Budget
Following concerns over economic development spending, the council ordered a wide-ranging internal audit of MEDC finances, contracts, and grants.
Commercial Signage Standards
A request for a 100-foot tall sign at a local gas station is being reviewed, which could set a precedent for future commercial signage height in the area.
Patio Setback Variance
Homeowners requested a setback variance to build a swimming pool closer to their property line than normally allowed. The board approved the change after finding no opposition from neighbors.
