Crestview City Council members adopted a package of land‑use and administrative measures and approved several routine actions at their Aug. 5 meeting, voting uniformly to advance the items to the next step or to implement staff recommendations.

The council approved on first reading three related ordinances to annex roughly 0.17 acres on Brock Avenue into the city, change the property's future‑land‑use designation, and rezone it to R‑3 (single‑ and multi‑family). Council members also advanced adoption of a recodified City Code (Ordinance 2,007) and a recodified Land Development Code (Ordinance 2,008) on first reading. Staff described the code efforts as a multi‑year recodification to remove outdated provisions and align the municipal code with state law.

The council approved a staff resolution naming the city manager or designee as the administrative official to approve plats and replats to comply with recently changed state statute (Resolution 2025‑4) and directed staff to amend the Land Development Code to implement the statutory changes. Council members also approved the Long View Estates preliminary plat (15 lots on roughly 3.25 acres), a $16,000 purchase for updated 911 dispatch recording equipment tied to a county radio upgrade, and an appointment to the General Employees’ Retirement Board to fill a term that expires Oct. 25.
