Council upholds P&Z denial of rezoning at 9156 Jewel Road
Summary
The City of Central Council accepted the Planning and Zoning Commission's recommendation and denied a rezoning request to change a 0.91-acre property at 9156 Jewel Road from B-2 neighborhood business to B-3 general commercial.
The City of Central Council on July 22 voted to accept the Planning and Zoning Commission’s recommendation to deny rezoning case 2Z2502, which would have changed a 0.91-acre parcel at 9156 Jewel Road from B-2 (neighborhood business) to B-3 (general commercial). Council members voted unanimously on a motion to accept the P&Z recommendation.
Why it matters: the rezoning would have changed allowed commercial uses on a near-one-acre property; the council’s acceptance of the P&Z recommendation maintains the parcel in the neighborhood-business district.
At the Planning and Zoning Commission hearing, the motion on the rezoning received two ayes, four nays and one absence and the commission recommended denial. During the council meeting, Councilwoman Laverne moved to accept the P&Z recommendation; Council member Meyer seconded. Council discussion included procedural clarification about whether a motion to approve would instead approve the P&Z denial; the clerk and council clarified the correct motion language before the roll call. The council roll call recorded affirmative votes from Laverne, Lazarue, McKinney, Meyer, Roy and Wells.
The applicant was listed as Tangelo McPipe for GMAC LLC in the P&Z application record. No public commenters were recorded during the council hearing in favor of the rezoning.
Next steps: by accepting the P&Z recommendation, the council left the property zoned B-2; no follow-up action or conditions were recorded during the meeting.
