Council notes rezoning recommendation for Tony Del Rio property during pending annexation
Summary
Staff told the Frankfort council that a plan commission recommendation rezones Tony Del Rio’s south‑of‑town property to allow single‑family (A) and duplex (C) residential uses; because the parcel is in a pending annexation period, council voted to take no action so the plan commission recommendation will take effect by default unless council calls a special meeting before the 90‑day deadline.
City staff presented a rezoning request (Ordinance 26‑08) for property owned by Tony Del Rio that lies south of town near Blue Green Drive and Krug Road, and explained the property is not yet fully annexed into Frankfort. The area plan commission recommended a split designation: A residential for single‑family lots and C residential where duplexes are planned.
Staff explained that because annexation is pending, the council cannot formally enact the rezoning until annexation is complete, but if the council takes no action the plan commission recommendation becomes effective automatically after 90 days from certification. Staff urged the council to decide consciously whether to let the recommendation take effect by default or to call a special meeting before annexation finalizes to act directly.
Council members discussed options and agreed it was simplest to take no action and allow the plan commission recommendation to become law by default, while staff recorded the council’s awareness on the certification paperwork.
Next steps: If council members wish to block or alter the rezoning prior to the 90‑day effective date, they must call a special meeting before that deadline.
