Central Town Council holds public hearing on proposed rezoning of property on 18 Mile Road

The Central Town Council held a public hearing on Sept. 8, 2025, to receive comment on a proposed rezoning of a parcel on 18 Mile Road identified in the meeting as Ordinance 982025. The council's chair opened the hearing and said the council had completed a first reading of the ordinance and that a second reading is set for 7:00 p.m. when the council moves into its regular meeting.

"We are here to hear from the public on a pair of ordinances," the Chair said, introducing the rezoning item and asking whether anyone had signed up to comment. The Chair reported there were no sign-ins for public comment on the rezoning.

According to the Chair, the rezoning item had been presented on first reading previously; the public hearing on Sept. 8 was the formal opportunity for public input before the scheduled second reading. No members of the public spoke on the rezoning during this hearing, and no formal motion or vote was taken at the public hearing portion of the meeting.

The council did not take final action on the rezoning during the public hearing; the Chair said the ordinance would be considered on second reading at 7:00 p.m. in the council's regular session. The transcript repeatedly identifies the rezoning item as "Ordinance 982025." That same ordinance number is also used in the meeting when introducing a separate zoning amendment; that duplication appears in the transcript and may reflect a transcription or numbering error in the record.

The council recessed briefly at the close of the public hearing and planned to reconvene for the regular meeting at 7:00 p.m., when the second reading will occur.
