Mister Harbor, director of community development, told the council that the applicant sought to convert the single-family house at the corner of Mayo and Jackson into a duplex. Harbor said the applicant's plan met development regulations for the R7 district, including the minimum per-dwelling-unit floor area of 1,100 square feet; the applicant proposes to add to the rear of the structure to reach that standard. Harbor said setbacks would not be encroached, and the proposed parking area would not sit inside the lot's visibility triangle.

Harbor reported that the Planning and Zoning Commission (PNC) recommended approval, with a condition requiring the applicant to widen the parking area to meet the minimum width called out in the International Zoning Code. Harbor explained the code's 9-foot width per parking space metric and said the applicant's initial submission showed 35 feet total width; PNC and staff recommended widening to 36 feet to meet the two required off-street spaces per unit (9 feet per space times four spaces equals 36 feet).

At public hearing, applicant Jared Von Rosenberg described his company's rehabilitation work on local rental properties and said the duplex would help meet student housing demand. Von Rosenberg said each side of the proposed duplex would have about three bedrooms and be provided two parking spaces per unit (four total). A member of the public identified in the record as the PNC chair (name not specified) opposed the conditional-use approval on grounds that allowing the duplex could set a future precedent; Harbor and other councilmembers said the approval would apply only to the property under consideration.

After public comment closed, a councilmember moved to pass the ordinance on first reading; the motion was seconded and the council approved by voice vote. Harbor noted the item will return to council for additional consideration on May 20 as part of the city's ordinance-reading process.

The council's approval on first reading includes the PNC-recommended condition to widen on-site parking to meet the minimum width requirement; Harbor and staff will monitor the applicant's compliance during permit review.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","May 6, 2025 - Special City Council Meeting","oneSentenceSummary","Council passed on first reading a conditional-use ordinance to allow conversion of a single-family house at 2407 Mayo Street into a duplex, with staff and the PNC recommending approval and a parking-width condition.","taxTitle","Commerce, Hunt County, Texas","taxId",64417,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":75,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":76,"_41":77,"_43":78,"_45":79,"_46":80,"_48":81,"_50":82,"_52":83,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":84,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":85,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":67,"_71":72,"_73":72},6249301,"Commerce council certifies mayoral election results and administers oath to Teddy Riel",606,252000,858000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3205948-0e81e97a3b0ed8e2654546e1351a93f1&start=252&end=858","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3205948-0e81e97a3b0ed8e2654546e1351a93f1/thumbnail_252000.jpg","/articles/6249301/Commerce/Hunt-County/Texas/Commerce-council-certifies-mayoral-election-results-and-administers-oath-to-Teddy-Riel","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6249301-69d91ae095bfd7a79dc5496b284e5469/orig.mp4?Expires=1775414605&Signature=MH68Q6-vasOe~zV41onWd6wJXP~ZYjMzVFmsGaCWwjK0TEIY1BNUaOyQ6Fz9zX0WWwoYROQtEXt75JhUuWErk17~WJT4OGP~ofXNfevXZZCey36fDAvxHPr51HKLvpSGmFXqFWiuYtGPUW2X60JEgeWXIvX~L6Bj-8lrWNDZpPjYHVbAcHhZPjj8CJ0MT9N3UMX3RkkPdU0l4am3Hv~phIjG4NL~td6MpbSkBI8n5B4Uc1TJdIEOhlj1uuyWCbD0dePsL48RZBlxzzXYkPZ4lIJRmYN28hQRAEzEVD5i09X5H3E8MpARbrXgdo16fNH3kT3WIQJB0kqUo7LY~DW0kQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The City Council of the City of Commerce, Texas, at a special meeting called at 5:30 p.m. canvassed the results of the May 3 general election and administered the oath of office to Teddy Riel, who will serve a three-year mayoral term from May 2025 through May 2028.

Assistant City Manager for Community Services Miss Jacobson presented the canvass report and the resolution declaring the election results. She told the council that during early voting (April 22–29) there were 63 votes cast for candidate Teddy Reel and 22 for Coy Smith, and that on election day (May 3) there were 94 votes for Reel and 20 for Smith. Jacobson said, \"This totaled between election day and early voting, 257 votes for mayor Teddy Reel and 42 votes for mister Coy Smith.\" She also noted that provisional ballots may be cured at the county within eight days and added that \"even if they all voted in favor of the candidate that lost the election, it still wouldn't change the results of the election.\"

A councilmember moved to accept the resolution canvassing the returns and declaring the results; the motion was seconded and approved by voice vote. The council then issued the certificate of election and Miss Jacobson administered the oath of office. Teddy Riel publicly repeated the oath, beginning, \"I, Teddy Riel, do solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute the duties of the office of mayor of the City of Commerce, of the state of Texas...\"

The council did not direct further action on the canvass report. No additional vote counts or provisional-vote cures were reported at the meeting; Jacobson stated the provisional-vote window remained open but that outstanding provisional ballots would not alter the declared outcome.

The meeting moved on after the oath; the council adjourned the special meeting and prepared to begin its workshop session.","At a special meeting, the City Council canvassed the May 3 general election, accepted a resolution declaring Teddy Riel elected to a three-year mayoral term, and administered his oath of office.","actionData","errors"]
