Planning and Zoning Commission - Jul 6, 2026
RFC, LLC wants to change its Highway 35 South lot from single-family to multi-family zoning so it can build about 8 units. The property borders established R-1 single-family neighborhoods, so the request raises typical questions about density and neighborhood compatibility. The Planning and Zoning Commission only makes a recommendation — City Council gets the final say.
