Council approves first reading to add larger residential lot types and takes first reading to name bridge 'Willie J Mitchell Bridge'
Summary
Council approved first reading of ordinance 26-13 to add RS-30 (30,000 sq ft) and RS-20 (20,000 sq ft) residential districts and took first reading to name a bridge at East Church and North Ellington Parkway the Willie J Mitchell Bridge; both items passed first reading.
Under new business the council approved the first reading of ordinance 26-13 to add two new residential single-family zoning districts—RS-30 (30,000 square-foot lots) and RS-20 (20,000 square-foot lots)—on new annexations, expanding the city's residential zoning options. Richard (Planning) explained that the change adds two options to the current zoning chart and that properties annexed at the city boundary could default to RS-30 unless another zone is requested.
The council also approved first reading of an ordinance to name the bridge at East Church Street and North Ellington Parkway the "Willie J Mitchell Bridge." Some council members discussed previous recognitions and whether the additional naming was appropriate, but the motion passed on the first reading. Final adoption will follow subsequent readings as required by ordinance procedure.
