Summary
The council approved Ordinances 2025‑37 and 2025‑38 to categorize and zone roughly 66.242 acres (Mashburn Drive expansion): Tracts 1–2 will be retail/commercial and Tracts 3–4 industrial/manufacturing, following unanimous Planning & Zoning recommendations.
Copperas Cove — The City Council voted Nov. 18 to adopt changes to the city’s future land‑use map and zoning for the Mashburn Drive expansion project.
Development Services Director Bobby Lewis told council that Planning & Zoning unanimously recommended approval following review. The ordinance to categorize the future land‑use plan (Ordinance 2025‑37) designates Tracts 1 and 2 (13.809 acres) as retail and commercial and Tracts 3 and 4 (52.433 acres) as industrial and manufacturing. A related zoning ordinance (Ordinance 2025‑38) implements district zoning consistent with those land‑use designations.
No members of the public spoke on the item during the public hearing. Council voted to approve both ordinances following staff recommendation; motions were made and carried without recorded opposition.
Staff said the changes support the Copperas Cove Economic Development Corporation’s identified priorities for the area and align with prior annexation action taken by the council in October.
