Harlingen commission approves rezoning near Bass Boulevard for 2.27‑acre retail parcel
Summary
The Harlingen City Commission voted to rezone a 2.273‑acre tract at Bass Boulevard and Palace Drive from undesignated to General Retail on first reading, clearing the way for commercial development.
The Harlingen City Commission voted on Jan. 15 to rezone a 2.273‑acre tract at the southeast corner of Bass Boulevard and Palace Drive from “not designated” to General Retail. The ordinance was approved on first reading after a motion and second and a voice vote in favor.
The rezoning, filed by AEC Engineering on behalf of the prospective applicant, applies to the extreme northwest corner of Block 176, Adams Garden Subdivision C. Commission members did not receive public comment at the meeting; the public hearing on the item was opened and closed with no speakers signed up.
City staff presented the ordinance as an amendment to the city code to change the parcel’s zoning classification; no additional conditions or infrastructure commitments were recorded during the discussion. The ordinance will move to a subsequent reading for final adoption as provided by city procedure.
The action reflects staff recommendation and commission support for commercial zoning at that location; project details such as building size, tenant mix, and construction schedule were not specified at the meeting.
The commission approved the first reading by voice vote. The measure will return for second reading and final adoption at a later meeting.
