Belton council approves consent items, multiple zoning changes and plats
Summary
Council approved consent agenda items including procurement and fleet authorizations, annexed roughly 2.305 acres for Old Golf Course Road, and approved several zoning requests and final plats (including Bluebonnet Crossing and River Fair Crossing phase 2); item 10 (façade easement grant) was pulled and postponed.
Belton City Council on Oct. 22 approved a suite of routine and land‑use items grouped in the consent agenda and during deliberations.
The consent agenda approved items that included network equipment replacement (GTL) to update aging network switches and access points (staff cited a cost of $94,054.68), authorization to purchase fleet vehicles with a potential allowance up to 20% over budget for departments including Public Works and Police, and a purchase from ASCO through the BuyBoard cooperative in the amount of $355,874. The council approved consent items 4–7 and 9 in a single motion; item 10 (a facade easement grant application for exterior renovations at 206 E. Central Ave. in the Downtown Belton Commercial Historic District) was pulled and later postponed to a future meeting.
Council also held public hearings and approved a series of zoning requests and final plats: an amendment to PD‑Retail for an Encore electrical substation on North Main Street; rezoning at 1901–1903 S. Connell St. to allow a ~3,000‑square‑foot addition; approval of an accessory dwelling unit SUP for a property on Wall Street (approved 6–1); final plats for Fairway Drive commercial (32‑unit duplexes), Bluebonnet Crossing, and River Fair Crossing Phase 2. Several items were approved unanimously; where votes were recorded the transcript reflects the tallies (for example, the ADU vote passed 6–1 and one zoning change passed 6–0 with one abstention).
