Florence council approves first reading of rezoning ordinance for 107 N. Patterson Ave.
Summary
At its Dec. 2 meeting, the Florence City Council held a public hearing and approved the first reading of Ordinance 2025-24 to rezone 107 N. Patterson Ave. (WCAD Parcel R010836) from Single-Family Residential (SF-1) to Mixed Use (MU); the measure passed unanimously. Meagan Buckley appeared for the owner and Planning & Zoning had recommended consideration.
A public hearing and first-reading approval of a rezoning ordinance for a downtown Florence parcel dominated the City Council’s Dec. 2 meeting.
Mayor Ben Daniel opened a hearing on a request from HBRE, LLC (James E. Dyess) to rezone WCAD Parcel R010836, also known as 107 N. Patterson Ave., from Single-Family Residential District (SF-1) to Mixed Use District (MU). Meagan Buckley of Turley and Associates appeared on behalf of the property owner; City Secretary Angelica Lombardi told the council that the Planning and Zoning Committee had recommended the rezoning request for council consideration.
On a motion by Mayor Pro Tem Mary Condon, seconded by Council Member Debra Bivens, the council approved the first reading of Ordinance 2025-24. The ordinance amends the city’s comprehensive plan, zoning map and zoning ordinance to change the parcel’s zoning designation. The ordinance text as recorded in the minutes includes a penalty clause “not to exceed $2,000 or the highest penalty amount allowed by law” and directs publication of the caption. The motion carried with no opposition.
The council’s vote was for first reading only; the ordinance will require further action at a subsequent meeting before rezoning is final. Planning and Zoning is scheduled to continue related plat discussion at an upcoming meeting, and the council’s next regular meeting is Jan. 13, 2026, at 6:00 p.m.
Because the minutes record the hearing and the first reading but do not record additional public comment or conditions attached to final adoption, future meetings will determine whether any changes or public input alter the council’s direction.
