Council unanimously approves mixed‑use rezoning for 11.56 acres near City Hall
Summary
Council and Planning & Zoning approved a city‑initiated rezoning for about 11.56 acres southeast of City Hall Circle and North Murphy Road to support a mixed‑use town‑center concept with PD design standards.
City Council and the Planning & Zoning Commission approved a city‑initiated rezoning of approximately 11.56 acres southeast of City Hall Circle and North Murphy Road on March 10, advancing a mixed‑use concept intended to create a cohesive town‑center area.
Staff presented illustrative concept plans that would allow combinations of retail, office, potential hospitality, and brownstone townhomes, and explained that Planned Development (PD) design standards included in the ordinance would establish architecture and site-design requirements. Staff noted the packet included a drafted maximum illustrative density (65 units) prepared by a prior director; commissioners said the number represented a potential maximum and would be subject to future site‑plan review.
The Planning & Zoning public hearing on the item drew no speakers; P&Z voted to recommend approval. At council, one resident asked a clarifying question about the city-owned tract included in the rezoning and council members described the proposal as an opportunity to build a walkable downtown‑style area. After motion and second, council approved the ordinance unanimously. Staff said future submittals (site plans and design reviews) would follow the PD process.
