Public Hearing Details

Council members will close the hearing and proceed to discuss and vote on Ordinance No. 1853.

Rezoning Proposal

The property is currently classified as Light Commercial and sits southwest of Highway US 380 and South Paloma Creek Boulevard.

Approved uses would include restaurant, retail, office, medical, and drive-thru facilities.

The new Planned Development district would modify standard uses and development requirements to accommodate the project.

A final decision on Ordinance No. 1853 will be recorded following the discussion.
