Council holds public hearing on rezoning 988 East Turkey Foot Lake Road; vote scheduled for a later meeting
Summary
A public hearing was held for proposed rezoning of about 2.76 acres at 988 East Turkey Foot Lake Road from R‑1 to B‑1 after a 5–0 Planning & Zoning recommendation; owners said rezoning increases property value and could lead to commercial redevelopment; council will take a vote at a future meeting.
Council opened a public hearing on Ordinance 2026‑03 to rezone roughly 2.76 acres at 988 East Turkey Foot Lake Road from single‑family residential (R‑1) to general business (B‑1). Planning staff explained the parcel is split between R‑1 and B‑1 and that Planning & Zoning recommended the rezoning 5–0. The owners, Mr. and Mrs. Carney, were present and indicated they wish to sell the property and expect redevelopment under a unified B‑1 designation; the home on the parcel would become nonconforming if rezoned and would likely not remain a residence.
Councilmember Neugebauer expressed support, saying the rezoning aligns with the corridor’s intended use. Planning staff noted utilities (water and sewer) are available and that surrounding properties are primarily business‑zoned, and that the city sent notices to adjacent and nearby property owners (including a church and a neighboring business that expressed support). The council emphasized it will not vote on a public hearing item the same night and closed the hearing; the rezoning will be scheduled for a future council meeting where council will vote.
What’s next Council granted time for the item and will consider the ordinance at a subsequent meeting; interested residents will have a future opportunity to comment before that vote.
