Jacksonville council adopts two zoning map changes, both passed with emergency clauses

The Jacksonville City Council voted to amend the city zoning map for two properties and adopted both ordinances with emergency clauses, allowing immediate effect.

The council first approved an ordinance to amend the zoning classification for property at 1904 West Morton Avenue from B3 to B3 with special use. Alderman Scott moved the emergency clause; Alderman Cook seconded. The emergency clause and the ordinance passed on roll call.

The council then considered an ordinance to rezone property in the 400 block of West College Avenue from R5 to R3. That measure was presented with an emergency clause, was seconded by Alderman Lockman on the ordinance’s second reading, and passed on roll call.

There was no substantive public comment or extended debate recorded on either rezoning item during the meeting. The clerk conducted roll-call votes on the emergency clauses and on the second readings; the motions carried. The ordinances were adopted under emergency clauses, which the council moved and approved during the meeting.

The actions change the official Jacksonville zoning map for the two addresses specified. The council record did not include additional conditions or detailed findings beyond the motions and roll-call approvals.
