Summary
Council conducted a public hearing and approved first reading of an ordinance rezoning a 14.7-acre tract at 3068 East Dimond Avenue from mixed categories to commercial to allow relocation of Ross Motorsports; Planning and Zoning recommended approval unanimously.
The Lufkin City Council conducted a public hearing and approved on first reading an ordinance to rezone a 14.7-acre tract at 3068 East Dimond Avenue to single commercial zoning.
Staff described the request as a change "from commercial, residential, large, and agricultural, to a single commercial zoning." The property is currently occupied by multiple structures, and the stated purpose is to construct a commercial development to relocate Ross Motorsports. "The comprehensive plan designation for this property is commercial," Staff member Kevin said, and the thoroughfare plan lists East Dimond Avenue as a major thoroughfare. He told the council the Planning and Zoning Commission had unanimously recommended the request.
No members of the public spoke during the hearing. A council member moved approval, a second was recorded and the council approved the first reading by voice vote.
The ordinance advances the rezoning to the second reading stage consistent with local adoption procedures; staff framed the request as consistent with the comprehensive plan and nearby uses.
