Summary
A quick reference to outcomes from the Harrisburg City Council legislative session: Bill 5 (rezoning) and Resolution 33 (subdivision) passed unanimously; Resolution 46 (planning commission appointment) passed unanimously; Resolution 48 (budget reallocation for litigation) passed 6–1.
Harrisburg City Council recorded the following formal actions during the legislative session:
- Bill 5 of 2025 (rezoning of 2601 North Third Street from INS to CN): passed unanimously, 7–0. The ordinance amends the city’s zoning map pursuant to Chapter 7‑303 of the codified ordinances.
- Resolution 33 of 2025 (preliminary/final subdivision plan for 2601 North Third Street): passed unanimously, 7–0. The resolution subdivides the property into four parcels to enable phased mixed‑use redevelopment.
- Resolution 46 of 2025 (appointment of Basir Vincent to the Harrisburg Planning Commission): passed unanimously, 7–0. The administration committee recommended the appointment after Mr. Vincent introduced himself and reported no conflicts of interest.
- Resolution 48 of 2025 (fourth proposed 2025 budget reallocation to fund an obligation from litigation, Brunner Motors eminent‑domain matter): passed 6–1. Finance staff described a proposed $1,950,000 adjustment plus $250,000 previously appropriated (planning figure $2,200,000) to be funded from multiple fund balances and interfund transfers; staff said the intention is to wire funds by July 15 to halt further interest accrual.
For those items that require further steps, council members and staff noted follow‑up: the developer of the 2601 North Third Street project will return with land‑development plans and more detailed construction drawings; finance staff will finalize interest calculations and complete reconciliation after transfers; the planning commission appointment is effective upon council approval.
