Planning commission backs rezoning to align with White Oak substation annexation
Summary
The Angleton Planning and Zoning Commission recommended the city council rezone roughly 26.08 acres north of 3343 E. Mulberry St. to Commercial General with an SUP overlay to formalize an earlier special-use permit for the White Oak substation.
The Angleton Planning and Zoning Commission voted to recommend that city council rezone about 26.084 acres adjacent to 3343 East Mulberry Street (Highway 35) to a Commercial General (C-3) district with a special-use permit overlay to cover the Texas-New Mexico Power/CenterPoint White Oak substation.
At a public hearing, Otis Spriggs, City planning staff, told commissioners the property had been annexed after the commission and council approved an SUP for the substations, and this rezoning is a cleanup to match the newly incorporated land with its approved use. Spriggs noted the site is under construction and that property owners within 200 feet were notified; staff received one inquiry from the nearby American Legion Hall, which reported no objection.
The public hearing drew no speakers. Commissioner Townsend moved to recommend approval; Commissioner Berry seconded the motion. The commission voted in favor and the motion carried.
Why it matters: rezoning will align the mapped zoning with the SUP already approved for the substation, removing a technical mismatch following annexation. The recommendation goes to the Angleton City Council for final action.
Next steps: staff will forward the commission’s recommendation to council for final consideration.
