What's proposed
Rezone from AG (Agricultural) to R-1 (Single-Family Residential), adopted as Ordinance No. 3980. The applicant is Chris Johnson. The published record does not say how many homes are planned or whether the land will be platted into lots.
Staff recommendation
"Approve" Ordinance No. 3980. The staff memorandum itself is not in the published agenda text.
Who it helps or hurts
The change swaps agricultural zoning for single-family zoning, the same kind of use as homes, so the impact depends on how many lots follow. That is not published.
It shows the city will rezone small leftover AG tracts to single-family, a path other AG owners nearby could take.
Within about 1,000 feet
Not published in the agenda text. The city's location maps and owner notice list are attached to the city file but not reproduced here.
Watch for
- The Planning and Zoning Commission approved this 5-0 on Sep 17, 2026 (motion by Commissioner Lyman, second by Commissioner Welborn).
- No plat for this property is on the Oct 12 agenda, so lot layout and lot count come later.
- Council's regular session starts after its executive session, no earlier than 7:00 PM; the 5:00 PM start is the work session. This is public hearing item C.1.
Next step
This is the Council hearing. City Council makes the final decision on Oct 12, 2026.
