Commission holds second reading and public‑hearing order for rezoning near high school on McMurray
Summary
Commission moved forward second reading/public‑hearing order for Ordinance 318202505 to rezone the rear of a parcel next to the high school from commercial to higher‑density residential (C2 to C2R3) while keeping commercial frontage; applicant has a concept plan showing townhomes intended to be walkable to the high school.
Commissioners reviewed Ordinance 318202505 on second reading and set the item for a public hearing; the ordinance would rezone the rear of a parcel on McMurray adjacent to the high school from commercial (C2) to higher‑density residential (C2R3) while keeping the front of the site commercial.
Planning staff (Miss Mahan) said the applicant already has a concept plan and is interested in building townhomes to provide housing within walking distance of the high school. "They are very interested in doing townhomes there to help provide housing... that is gonna allow those to go to walk to the high school and keep that commercial in the front," Miss Mahan said.
Commission discussion was limited to clarifying questions; there was no recorded final vote in the work session. The rezoning remains at second reading and is scheduled for the required public hearing and subsequent votes per ordinance procedures.
Clarifying details: the item is listed as Ordinance 318202505 (packet page 31) and described in the packet as rezoning the back of the parcel to high‑density residential while retaining commercial frontage. No specific developer name, lot numbers or exact parcel addresses were given in the work session notes.
