Council approves first reading for zone change at 1905 Broussard Avenue
Summary
The Lufkin City Council approved on first reading a request to rezone roughly 3 acres at 1905 Broussard Avenue from Residential Large to Residential Medium to allow single-family home development; staff said the request aligns with the comprehensive plan and received no public objections.
The Lufkin City Council on voice vote approved on first reading a rezoning request for approximately 3 acres at 1905 Broussard Avenue, changing the property from Residential Large to Residential Medium to allow new single-family homes.
City staff presented the application and recommended approval, saying the change is compatible with existing uses and the city’s future land use plan. “The applicant is requesting a zone change for property located at 1905 Broussard Avenue...changed from residential large to residential medium zoning district,” a staff presenter said, noting the parcel is currently undeveloped and that the comprehensive plan designates the site as medium-density residential.
Staff reported 17 public notices were mailed to property owners within the 200-foot buffer and that no responses were received. The Planning and Zoning Commission unanimously recommended approval. During the council discussion, Councilmember (Speaker 7) moved to approve the ordinance on first reading and a second was recorded; the mayor called for ayes and announced the motion carries by voice vote.
The action advances the item to subsequent readings as required by ordinance; council did not record individual roll-call vote tallies in the meeting transcript. The council packet lists the property as Tract 199 from the JL Fanalty survey, abstract number 40, CAD property ID 19791.
