Rezoning of 1609 SH 35 Bypass to commercial use
A roughly one-acre parcel on the SH 35 Bypass could shift from single-family residential to general business zoning with a Conditional Use Permit overlay. Neighbors may see commercial development at the site, and the public hearing is the chance to speak for or against.
Residential-commercial buffering protections
Commission members voiced frustration that the city's ordinances offer little protection when residential neighborhoods sit next to commercial zones. Staff said local amendments are on hold until required state code amendments are done by year's end.
