Council adopts ordinance rezoning Dogwood Industrial Park from I-2 to B-2

The Lamar City Council voted on Dec. 2 to rezone the Dogwood Industrial Park first edition from I-2 (Industrial Business District) to B-2 (General Business District) by adopting Ordinance No. 1000.

Administration and the Planning and Zoning Commission recommended the change; council moved to approve the second reading and then a separate motion was made to waive the third reading. During the roll-call vote to waive the third reading, Councilmember Goodchild voted "No," but the motion to waive carried. The subsequent roll-call vote to adopt Ordinance No. 1000 passed and the ordinance was declared adopted.

The meeting record did not include specific text amendments to the zoning standards, parcel identifiers, or conditions attached to the rezoning; the administration presented the rezoning as recommended by the Planning and Zoning Commission. The ordinance adoption moves the property classification from industrial to general business, which typically changes permitted land uses and development standards under city code; the meeting transcript did not list the specific parcels affected or the effective date for the zoning change.

Next steps: with adoption on second reading and the third reading waived and adopted, administration will process the ordinance in accordance with city code; no additional public testimony was recorded at the meeting.
