The Fredericksburg City Council approved Ordinance 2025-33 rezoning the property at 104 North Olive from R-1 (single-family residential) to C-1 (neighborhood commercial). Planning staff said the city's 2024 comprehensive plan identifies the site's place type as mixed-density residential and recommends an underlying zoning of neighborhood commercial (NC/C-1) as the most compatible option.

Staff summary and process
City planning staff explained that the original public notices included both a requested land-use change and a requested C-2 rezoning; after review, staff and the Planning & Zoning Commission recommended that the council adopt the C-1 zoning to remain consistent with the comprehensive plan and with surrounding development patterns. The council opened and closed the required public hearings and took action only on the zoning change; staff noted no action on the separate land-use notice was required because the amended recommendation left the underlying land-use designation unchanged.

What the council did
Council members moved and amended the motion on the record to specify the C-1 approval; the motion was seconded and carried. Staff noted that the ordinance text on the agenda correctly described the approved C-1 district even though the initial agenda language referenced C-2.
