Commission approves multiple rezonings to allow multifamily and neighborhood commercial uses
Summary
The commission recommended approval of several zoning changes, including conversions from heavy commercial to low‑rise multifamily and from single‑family to two‑family or neighborhood commercial, intended to support a range of housing options and infill development.
The San Angelo Planning Commission approved multiple zoning requests aimed at expanding multifamily and low‑intensity commercial options across several neighborhoods.
Austin Reed presented Z 25‑25 (Northwest Drive/Arden Road), recommending a change from heavy commercial (CH) to low‑rise multifamily (RM‑1) on about 21 acres to bring zoning into alignment with nearby RM‑1 areas and to support demonstrated multifamily housing needs. Arden (regular planner) presented Z 25‑26 (2719 Waco), a request to change RS‑1 to RS‑2 to allow an accessory dwelling unit consistent with the city’s recent infill designation and a housing study that highlights a need for unconventional housing types. Ray Lineberry presented Z 25‑27 (East Avenue K/Dugan Street) recommending a change from CGCH to RM‑1 with a comp plan amendment to follow, and Aaron Vannoy presented Z 25‑28 (several Waco Street parcels) recommending RS‑1 to neighborhood commercial to better align with surrounding low‑intensity commercial uses.
Applicants and their representatives (including Russell Gulley and Blake of Wildy Engineering & Survey) spoke in support where present, noting conditional uses or prior approvals that made the rezonings a logical next step. Commissioners moved and approved each zoning change on voice votes with no recorded opposition in the transcript.
The rezonings are intended to support more multifamily housing and targeted commercial uses, and several staff comments tied these actions to the broader housing study and upcoming comprehensive plan updates.
