COUNCIL APPROVES REZONING OF SECTION ALONG TIADEN LANE

  

A section of land along Tiaden Lane is being rezoned from residential to industrial use.  Brenham City Council approved the second reading of an ordinance that will rezone the 8 acre tract.   Del Sol Foods is looking to purchase the property contingent on the zoning change.  They said that it would be for future growth of their plant located on the adjacent Blue Bell Road.

Both at the December 7th meeting and today’s (Thursday’s) City Council meeting, residents from Tiaden Lane objected to the rezoning, saying that the plant expansion would bring increased traffic, increased drainage problems, and raise their property taxes.  City Engineer Lori Lakatos said that Del Sol Foods would not be allowed to use Tiaden Lane unless they paid to have it upgraded and that there would be a sizable setback between any structure built on the property and the residential area.

Council voted to approve the rezoning on the second reading with Councilmember Weldon Williams voting against the amendment.
