Summary
Lufkin City Council approved on second reading an ordinance rezoning two vacant parcels totaling about 1.28 acres at 304 E. Polk Ave. and 805 N. Chestnut St. from commercial to residential small; Planning and Zoning had recommended approval and staff reported one letter of support.
Lufkin Mayor Mann and the City Council voted to approve on second reading an ordinance rezoning two vacant parcels at 304 East Polk Avenue and 805 North Chestnut Street from commercial to residential small.
City staff member Kevin said the request covers approximately 1.28 acres, described as Lots 1 through 4 in the east 55 feet of Lot 5, Block 104, and noted the property is designated medium-density residential in the comprehensive plan. "This zone change request is on approximately 1.28 acres located on North Chestnut," Kevin said, adding that staff mailed 21 notices to property owners within the 200-foot notification area and received one letter in support. He said the Planning and Zoning Commission unanimously recommended approval at its March 23 meeting.
During the public hearing no speakers came forward. Mayor Mann moved to approve the ordinance on second reading; Kevin seconded. The council approved the measure by voice vote.
The ordinance changes the zoning designation to permit single-family homes on the site, which Kevin said is currently vacant. The record does not state an effective date for the zoning change or list any conditions attached to the approval.
