Summary

The Weatherford City Council approved a zoning-map amendment and final plat for property at 395 Jones Road, adopted local fire‑code amendments to address illegal/hazardous burning, and passed routine minutes and consent items. No public opposition was recorded during the hearings.

The Weatherford City Council approved a series of routine land‑use and code updates during its regular meeting.

Council heard a staff presentation from Scott McDonald on a zoning‑map amendment to change approximately 10.764 acres at 395 Jones Road from agricultural to industrial to reflect existing light‑industrial and office activity and the city's general plan. With no public comment, the council closed the hearing and approved the ordinance as presented.

McDonald then presented the final plat for the same site (EOG Addition), a single commercial lot of roughly 10.764 acres. Staff recommended approval and the council voted to approve the plat.

Fire Marshal Kevin Dozier presented proposed amendments to the city's adopted fire ordinance and local amendments to the 2021 International Fire Code. Dozier told council the amendments correct section numbering and expand language to prohibit hazardous and illegal burning such as treated wood, plastics and tires. He said the changes respond to a recent incident where staff could not prosecute because the existing code language lacked sufficient specificity. The council opened a public hearing on the fire‑code amendments, heard no public comment and voted to adopt the changes.

Procedural business: council approved minutes for the April 3 retreat and the April 14 council meeting, and passed consent agenda items 7a–7e as a block after motion and second. The council recessed for an executive session at 6:31 p.m. to conduct the city manager's annual review and returned at 8:46 p.m., taking no action on that item before adjourning at 8:47 p.m.
