At a glance: council approves routine resolutions, takes up Habitat rezoning on first reading
Summary
On Sept. 16 the Gallatin City Council approved several routine items — acceptance of public improvements in Kennesaw Farm Phase 6 Section 3, renewed a software service agreement and approved a temporary street closure — and took first reading of a Habitat for Humanity rezoning ordinance.
The Gallatin City Council on Sept. 16 completed several routine items on its agenda and approved first reading of a Habitat for Humanity rezoning ordinance.
Key outcomes: - Ordinance (first reading): Councilman Carter introduced Ordinance ORD‑02509‑48, a rezoning to allow a Habitat for Humanity residential community (Examer Court) on approximately 0.66 acres; the council approved the ordinance on first reading unanimously (recorded as 6‑0). The ordinance rezones the parcel from CS (Commercial Services) to MRO (Multiple Residential and Office) and authorizes staff to update the official zoning atlas.
- Resolution R2509‑56: The council unanimously accepted public improvements by the city in Kennesaw Farm Phase 6, Section 3.
- Resolution R2509‑57: The council unanimously authorized the mayor to sign a renewal service agreement with NeoGov/PowerDMS (a software vendor) for city services.
- Street closure: The council approved a temporary street‑closure application to close part of the public square for a vintage market on Oct. 18, 2025 (10 a.m.–3 p.m.).
Votes and procedure: The two resolutions and the street‑closure application passed by voice vote without extended debate. The Habitat for Humanity rezoning cleared first reading; council members and staff indicated the item will return for subsequent readings per standard ordinance procedure.
What this means: The routine actions place no immediate new obligations on the general fund; the Habitat rezoning now proceeds through the city's legislative process with additional readings before final adoption.
