Commission recommends rezoning of 517 B South Bryan to semi-urban residential
Summary
At a Borger city commission meeting, members recommended the City Council rezone 517 B South Bryan from corridor mixed use to semi-urban residential so the property can be used as a single-family home; the commission also approved minutes and moved to adjourn.
A city commission in Borger recommended that the City Council amend the zoning map to rezone property at 517 B South Bryan from corridor mixed use to semi-urban residential so the lot can be used as a single-family dwelling, commissioners said during a public hearing.
The rezoning matter matters to nearby property owners and to the city because the lot was the only parcel in its block that differed from surrounding zoning, commission members said. The change would return the site to the same semi-urban residential classification as adjacent properties.
Staff told the commission the address had been read incorrectly earlier in the meeting — initially noted as 517 North Bridal Corner — and clarified the correct address is 517 B South Bryan. Staff said the parcel previously was rezoned to corridor mixed use a few years ago when the prior owner planned a small snack-shack-type use near the high school, but the property later was sold and the current owner is asking to rezone it back to semi-urban residential for use as a single-family property.
Commissioners moved and seconded a motion to recommend the rezoning to the City Council. The motion carried; the transcript records commissioners responding “Aye” and the chair saying the motion carries. The transcript does not record a numerical roll-call tally or the names of members voting for or against the recommendation.
During the same meeting the commission approved the minutes of the regular meeting from Sept. 23, 2024 and then took a motion to adjourn. Those routine actions were approved by voice vote, with the transcript recording “Aye” and the chair saying the motion carries. The transcript does not specify individual vote counts for those items.
