Summary

Council approved rezoning of approximately 0.074 acres at 1366 Portland Avenue from RS-6 to general commercial; staff and the agent said notices went to nearby property owners and P&Z recommended approval.

The Abilene City Council voted to rezone roughly 0.074 acres at 1366 Portland Avenue from RS-6 to general commercial on April 26.

Tim Littlejohn presented Zoning Case 2026-08 and said the request would "square up" the commercial zoning at the end of the block and that notifications returned three in favor and none opposed; Planning & Zoning recommended approval. Agent Tal Fillingham told the council the rezoning largely consolidates lots for a planned development and that an alley abandonment was part of the concept.

After a brief public hearing and no opposition, council members voted to approve the rezoning as presented.
