Residents voice water and access concerns at Lewis Park LTD rezoning hearing
Summary
At a public hearing on Lewis Park LTD's rezoning and annexation request for 313 East Street, nearby residents opposed changing agricultural zoning, citing potential water supply impacts and limited public input because meetings are held at noon.
The council opened a public hearing on a request from Lewis Park LTD to amend the zoning district map for 313 East Street, a 25.367‑acre tract, seeking rezoning from restricted commercial and agricultural to single‑family garden residential.
Nearby resident Daryl Johnson testified he lives close to the property and opposed rezoning, citing potential strain on water supply: "I don't think we should change the zoning... it's gonna draw on our water supply, which I don't believe is good enough right now." Another resident, Maria Lopez, said the noon meeting time made public participation difficult for working residents and raised questions about construction materials left in the roadway. "I just have a concern because I live on 130, like, on Sunset Oaks," she said, adding that repairs to her street are already a financial burden for her household.
Council members and staff described the legal notice and parcel details (Block 26, volume and page references in county deed records) and invited further written comments. No council vote or final action on the rezoning occurred at the hearing; the item remained in the public‑hearing stage.
