The Harlingen City Commission on June 3 approved several land‑use changes and a special‑use permit on first reading as part of routine agenda business.
The commission voted unanimously to rezone roughly 41.72 acres north of Beckham Road to residential single‑family (R1) on first reading, following staff presentation of the applicant’s materials. Another ordinance on first reading rezoned approximately 7.899 acres in the Cunningham subdivision to Light Industry (LI); that measure also passed unanimously.
The commission granted a special‑use permit to Tim Puff to operate a food‑truck park at 6121 FM 106, and welcomed the new business as a local economic development success. The motion carried on the floor without opposition.
Separately, the commission approved on first reading rezoning 6.143 acres to a Residential Mobile‑Home (MH) district at the southeast corner of Pimero Road and US 77 frontage road. All four land‑use items passed on voice vote as presented.
What’s next: These are first‑reading approvals; staff said the items follow required procedures and any final readings or technical changes will return to the commission for formal adoption.
