Council approves planning board findings for rezoning, hears multiple hotel rezoning first reads and adopts pest‑control contract
Summary
Council approved findings from Planning & Zoning and adopted Ordinance O-2512-20; it also heard first readings for several downtown hotel rezoning requests (multiple properties referred to P&Z) and adopted Resolution R-2602-07 to contract a pest‑control vendor for the public works building.
The City Council handled several land‑use and procurement items during the work session.
Minutes and planning approval: Council moved and seconded to adopt the February 10, 2026 meeting minutes; the motion carried by roll call. Later, the council took a motion to accept the Planning & Zoning Board's findings and approve the request tied to Ordinance 0-2512-20; the motion was seconded and approved by roll call.
First readings — downtown hotel projects: The clerk read captions for a series of first‑reading ordinances (O-2602-03 through O-2602-09) that would amend the land development code to rezone and allow special uses on multiple downtown parcels for proposed hotel projects. The addresses and owners read on the record included 120 North Elbert Street (Duckworth Holdings), 151 North Jefferson Street (Duckworth Holdings), 211 East Macintosh Street (Adam Fabian), 141 North Jefferson Street (William and Debbie Thompson), 131 North Jefferson Street (Pendergas Property), 200 North Elbert Street (Eagle Place Holdings LLC), and 230 East Macintosh Street (Eagle Place Holdings LLC). All these first readings were referred to the Planning & Zoning Commission for review.
Resolution R‑2602‑07: Procurement for pest control: Council considered and adopted Resolution R‑2602‑07 to authorize a service agreement with Bug House Pest Control for pest control services at the public works building. The resolution passed on a motion and roll‑call vote.
No final zoning approvals were adopted for the downtown hotel first readings — each was read by caption and referred to Planning & Zoning as part of the standard first‑reading process.
Votes at a glance: The roll‑call votes shown in the transcript include consistent affirmative votes from the councilmembers present when motions were called.
Next steps: The first‑reading ordinances will return to Planning & Zoning for advisory recommendations before any additional council action; the pest‑control contract is authorized and will be implemented by public works.
