Planning and Zoning Commission - Nov 2, 2026
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.
City Council - Oct 13, 2026
Final approval changed the zoning of the Doughty & Mathis Outlots property from single-family residential to residential and office district, opening the door to mixed residential/office use.
Planning and Zoning Commission - Oct 5, 2026
A second single-family lot, at 108 N. Hood St., is up for the same R-1 to B-1 rezoning. Neighbors may weigh in at the public hearing on how commercial zoning fits the street.
