Council adopts ordinance abandoning portion of alley at 207 E. Sixth St.

The Weatherford City Council adopted Ordinance No. 2025‑536 on Aug. 12 to close and abandon a portion of an alley adjacent to 207 East Sixth Street, enabling the owner to combine two parcels into one contiguous property and pursue a replat. Why it matters: Alley abandonment will allow the property owner to consolidate parcels and replat the site; staff said similar abandonments in the block to the north have occurred and the action aligns with recent development patterns. Planning staff presented the request and recommended approval. Chad Marbuck summarized the location as a stretch of alley between Sixth and Seventh streets in Block 5 of the Mutual Realty Company subdivision (Carter's Edition) and said the owners requested abandonment to consolidate two parcels they own. The council opened a public hearing on the ordinance; no members of the public spoke and the hearing was closed. Council Member Matt Tiscus moved for approval; Council Member Luke Williams seconded and the ordinance passed. Discussion vs. decision: Planning staff recommended approval (discussion); the council conducted a public hearing (public input opportunity) and took formal action adopting the ordinance (decision).
