Leesville council adopts two rezoning ordinances to clear way for commercial development and sports-complex support
Summary
The Leesville City Council voted to adopt Ordinance 7 of 2026, rezoning PARCEL #8111554531 from A-7 Multi-Family to C-4 Highway Commercial to support a potential Phase II Sports Complex, and Ordinance 8 of 2026, rezoning multiple lots from A-10 Trailer Park District to C-4 Highway Commercial. Both measures passed with no public comments.
The Leesville City Council on June 22 adopted two ordinances to change zoning on multiple properties, actions the council said are intended to support potential commercial development and a Phase II Sports Complex.
City Clerk Sonny Harrell read both ordinances during the public hearing; Mayor Rick Allen opened the floor for comment on each ordinance and no members of the public spoke. Ordinance 7 of 2026 proposes rezoning PARCEL #8111554531 from A-7 Multi-Family District to C-4 Highway Commercial District to support potential commercial development tied to a Phase II Sports Complex. Ordinance 8 of 2026 proposes rezoning multiple lots from A-10 Trailer Park District to C-4 Highway Commercial District.
After the council briefly recessed for an executive session, Councilmember Phillip Hunt moved to adopt Ordinance 7, and Councilmember Robertson seconded. The motion passed; a roll-call vote recorded all present members voting Yes, with Councilmember Ybarra absent. Councilmember Robertson moved to adopt Ordinance 8, seconded by Councilmember Herring; the motion likewise passed with the same roll-call outcome.
The ordinances do not include recorded public objections in the minutes, and the clerk’s reading supplied the formal descriptions and parcel identification (PARCEL #8111554531). The council did not record additional conditions or amendments to the ordinances in the minutes.
The council’s actions change the official zoning categories for the identified properties and clear the way for applicants and staff to pursue required development permits, site plans and related approvals under C-4 Highway Commercial standards. The minutes do not list a timeline for subsequent permitting steps or specific developers associated with the Phase II Sports Complex.
