Summary

The Lewisburg City Council on June 10 approved Ordinance 25-O-6 to rezone about 3.53 acres at 560 East Commerce Street from R-3 (high-density residential) to C-2 (intermediate business) at the owner’s request.

The Lewisburg City Council on June 10 approved Ordinance 25-O-6 to rezone approximately 3.53 acres at 560 East Commerce Street from R-3 (high-density residential) to C-2 (intermediate business). The measure was presented to the council after a favorable 6-0 recommendation from the planning commission and was moved, seconded and adopted on a roll-call vote during the council’s regular meeting at Lewisburg City Hall.

The rezoning was requested by Baptist Church Incorporated, which owns the parcel listed in the Marshall County Register of Deeds (Map 0640, Group D, Parcel 032). Council members moved the ordinance from first reading to final reading and voted to adopt Ordinance 25-O-6 during the June 10 session. The council record shows the planning commission recommended approval by a 6-0 vote; the council adopted the ordinance following that recommendation.

City staff presented the location and the planning commission’s recommendation during the public hearing portion of the meeting. No members of the public spoke for or against the rezoning during the hearing.

The ordinance changes the official zoning designation for the parcel to allow intermediate-business uses permitted under C-2 zoning. The council did not discuss specific development proposals tied to this zoning change during the meeting; any future land-use permits or site plans would follow the city’s permitting process and applicable codes.

The council’s action finalizes the rezoning at the local level; any subsequent development proposals will be subject to the city’s permitting, inspections and applicable regulations.
