Council approves conditional rezoning of 2.5-acre Telegraph Road parcel 6–1
Summary
On second reading council approved a conditional rezoning of a 2.5-acre parcel on Telegraph Road from B-3 general business to I-1 light industrial; the measure passed on a 6–1 roll-call vote after members cited the conditional nature and master plan concerns.
The City Council approved on second reading an ordinance to conditionally rezone Parcel 6002799004 — a roughly 2.5-acre property between Telegraph, Wolfow and Mary Street — from B-3 general business to I-1 light industrial for a specified conditional use. Council discussion referenced the Taylor Master Plan and the conditional limits on permitted industrial activity; one councilmember said the proposal conflicts with the 2006 master plan and announced a no vote.
Council members emphasized that the request is a conditional rezoning with use restrictions rather than an open conversion to broad industrial zoning. One councilmember who previously served on the master plan committee said, “I sat on that committee in 2006 ... and we have a use map that consists of nothing of this nature being a part of Telegraph Road,” and indicated he would vote no. Supporters noted the applicants had pursued a lengthy review process and met conditions imposed for the conditional rezoning.
Roll call was conducted before the final motion. The council’s recorded vote was 6 in favor and 1 opposed; the motion carried. Staff confirmed the property legal description, the parcel number, and the location cited in the ordinance. Any implementation, conditions and administrative permits tied to the conditional rezoning will proceed through standard planning and building review.
