Summary

Planning and Zoning approved several city‑initiated rezonings on Stillwood Drive, changing parcels from no zoning to R1. Final public hearing and council vote are scheduled for July; specifics about parcel counts and ordinance numbers were not given at the meeting.

Planning and Zoning held a public hearing on several city‑initiated rezonings affecting properties on Stillwood Drive and approved recommendations to reclassify them from unzoned to R1 residential. A Planning & Zoning spokesperson told the council that these were city‑initiated cleanups of parcels that lacked zoning within the city limits and that the items will come before the City Council for public hearing and final vote in July.

The board approved “five or six” parcels in this batch, according to the presentation; council members were told additional parcels in the neighborhood will be processed in coming months. No ordinance numbers, parcel IDs or specific property owners were given at the council meeting.

Mayor Stancil Handley and the council characterized the rezoning work as an administrative cleanup to ensure consistency inside city limits. The mayor noted the Planning & Zoning board is where developers and early proposals are first presented.

Next steps: the council will receive the rezoning items for public hearing and final action in July. The transcript did not record a council vote on these rezonings at the June 16 meeting; Planning & Zoning’s approvals were reported as passed at that board level.
