Council opens discussion on mixed‑use zoning for business properties
Summary
Councilmembers opened discussion on whether to allow mixed‑use zoning on business properties, reviewing slide material and asking staff to return with options; no ordinance or vote was taken at the Jan. 29 work session.
The Huachuca City Town Council on Jan. 29 opened Item B.2 for discussion about the possibility of mixed‑use zoning for business properties. Mayor Johann Wallace moved and Councilmember Christy Hirshberg seconded the motion to open the item; Dr. Jim Johnson presented slide material under the heading "MIXED USE ZONING FOR BUSINESS PROPERTY."
The presentation and ensuing council discussion framed mixed‑use zoning as an option to allow residential uses alongside commercial activities on business parcels. Slides repeatedly displayed the topic heading and council members discussed potential impacts on property configuration, parking, and code enforcement. No zoning ordinance or amendment was adopted at the session; the matter was left for staff to refine options and return with draft language for council consideration at a subsequent meeting.
Council discussion stressed that any change would require careful consideration of design standards and integration with existing commercial code, and that public hearings and formal readings would be necessary before adoption. Staff were directed to develop draft amendments and impact considerations for future meetings.
