Council approves first reading to rezone 107 N. Patterson Ave. to mixed use
Summary
The Florence City Council approved the first reading of Ordinance 2025-24 to change 107 N. Patterson Ave. (WCAD Parcel R010836) from single-family residential to mixed use after the Planning & Zoning committee recommended the rezoning; the vote was unanimous.
The Florence City Council on Dec. 2 approved the first reading of Ordinance 2025-24 to rezone WCAD Parcel R010836, also known as 107 N. Patterson Ave., from Single-Family Residential District (SF-1) to Mixed Use District (MU).
City Secretary Angelica Lombardi told the council that the Planning and Zoning Committee had previously recommended the rezoning request. Meagan Buckley of Turley and Associates appeared on behalf of the property owner, HBRE, LLC (James E. Dyess), during the public hearing held at the start of the meeting.
Mayor Ben Daniel and council members heard the presentation and then voted on the ordinance's first reading. Mary Condon made the motion to approve the first reading, Debra Bivens seconded, and the motion carried unanimously with no opposition.
The ordinance text as presented amends the city’s comprehensive plan and zoning map and includes standard savings, repeal and severability clauses; it also sets a penalty clause not to exceed $2,000 or the highest amount allowed by law, whichever is less. The council took only the first reading on Dec. 2; further readings or final adoption would appear on a future agenda.
The rezoning request was introduced during the public hearing period and was supported by the Planning & Zoning recommendation; the council did not record additional public objections or amendments in the minutes. The next procedural step is for the council to schedule any required subsequent reading or final vote per the city’s ordinance adoption rules.
