Summary

City staff told the Planning & Zoning Commission the city will rezone roughly 62 acres in the Elam Corridor to implement recently adopted mixed‑use regulations and will mail about 550 postcards to notify affected property owners ahead of a June 18 hearing.

Staff told commissioners that the city adopted mixed‑use regulations and the next step is rezoning portions of the Elam Corridor to conform to the new rules. "There's 62 acres that are being rezoned," the staff member said, adding that staff is coordinating with GIS to send approximately 550 postcards to affected property owners.

The staff member said existing businesses would be grandfathered when the rezone takes effect; only new development would be required to follow the mixed‑use standards. The staff presentation framed the rezoning as part of a broader plan to create a city center and implement the mobility and land‑use vision adopted by the commission.
