BRENHAM CITY COUNCIL TO DISCUSS ZONING CHANGES
Brenham City Council will consider an amendment and act upon a resolution during their meeting this afternoon (Thursday) to change a section of land from a recreational/open space district to a multifamily district on a tract of land located on the north side of Old Mill Creek Road. The Council will also consider an amendment to change the zoning district from a single family residential use to a mixed residential use for land located on the north side of Old Mill Creek Road.
A public hearing will be held to consider granting a specific use permit to allow a multifamily development on a site of 2 or more acres located on the north side of Old Mill Creek Road. The public hearing is also being held to consider changing a district from recreational/open space to commercial/retail at the northwest corner of the intersection of Old Mill Creek Road and S. Saeger Street as well as changing the zoning district from single family residential use to a local business/residential mixed use at the same spot.
The Council will go into regular session to possibly act upon the previous considerations. It will take a super majority to pass either of the considerations – 6 of the 7 council members must vote in agreement. They are also expected to act upon a resolution to change a plot of land being bound by Rucker Street, North Park Street, West Blue Bell Road, and Ewing Street from single family residential use to commercial/retail use as well as changing the zoning district from single family residential to local business/residential mixed use for land at the southeast intersection of Ewing and Rucker Streets.
A contract for participation in the City’s rotation log for non-consent tows is expected to be approved as well as a noise variance request from Shawna Wills for a graduation dinner on May 7th from 3:00pm to 10:00pm.
The Brenham City Council will meet at 1:00pm this afternoon (Thursday) in the second floor council chambers at City Hall located on west Vulcan Street.
