Council to pursue mixed-use zoning for Bond Street after cost estimate for notices
Summary
Council discussed a proposal to amend zoning maps to allow mixed-use development along Bond Street; staff estimated required 300-foot notices will cost about $1,000–$1,200 and recommended returning the item in March for formal notification.
Council considered a staff- and council-led proposal to amend zoning maps to permit mixed-use development along Bond Street from FM 243 to 1174, allowing storefronts with residences or short-term rentals above. The council member presenting the idea said it had been raised by several property owners and could spur downtown redevelopment.
Staff explained the procedural requirement to mail notices to property owners within a 300-foot radius and estimated postage at roughly $1,000–$1,200. "There is a cost involved because there's gonna be a lot of notification that needs to happen," a staff member said, and recommended taking the work to prepare notices so the council can act in March. The council directed staff to proceed with preparing the notifications and to bring the formal map amendment back at a future meeting.
Next steps: staff will prepare notice mailings and associated materials; the council expects the item to return at the March meeting for possible formal action.
