Council approves rezoning of 1905 Broussard Avenue to allow medium-density homes
Summary
On second reading the council approved changing zoning for roughly 3 acres at 1905 Broussard Avenue from residential large to residential medium to permit new single-family homes; staff said 17 notices were mailed and no responses were received.
The Lufkin City Council approved on second reading an ordinance rezoning about 3 acres at 1905 Broussard Avenue from residential large to residential medium to facilitate new single-family home development.
Kevin, a city staff member presenting the item, said the parcel is currently undeveloped, falls within the residential redevelopment focus area and the comprehensive plan designates it medium density residential. He said the city mailed 17 public notices to property owners within 200 feet and received no responses in favor or opposition; the Planning and Zoning Commission unanimously recommended approval. The council opened the public hearing, took no public comment, closed the hearing and approved the ordinance on second reading by voice vote.
The change aligns the zoning with the comprehensive plan’s residential redevelopment focus and is intended to enable single-family construction. The council did not record a roll-call tally in the public minutes; the mayor called for voice votes and the motion ‘carried.’
