Commission backs extending North Spur planned development instead of straight rezoning

Sep 24, 2026

Planning staff recommended, and the commission approved, extending the North Spur planned development boundary to include roughly 8.53 acres (zoning case 26-3201) rather than rezoning the parcels directly to light industrial; the change will proceed to City Council for final action.

The full story

Planning staff told the commission on Sept. 24 that applicants for zoning case 26-3201 asked to rezone about 8.5304 acres near the Thomas F. Smith survey to light industrial, but staff recommended incorporating the parcels into the existing North Spur planned development (PD) instead. Staff argued the PD extension would subject the new parcels to more restrictive PD standards and better protect surrounding properties.
