City Hall Complex Institutional Rezoning

At a glance

What: four city-initiated ordinances to bring parcels around City Hall under Institutional land use and zoning: Ord. 26-76 and 26-94 (five parcels, 1.23 acres, east side of Southwest Kale Street) and Ord. 26-77 and 26-95 (one vacant 0.23-acre lot, Southwest Thanksgiving Avenue).
Where it stands: all four passed first reading unanimously on 2026-10-12 with no public comment. Second reading is still to come.
Why: the lots are city-owned and next to the City Hall complex but still carry residential designations; staff called it a clean-up.

Francis Foreman presented all four; no construction is proposed on any parcel.
The Planning and Zoning Board recommended approval on 2026-09-01.
The caption of the clerk's reading gives 1.55 acres for Ord. 26-76 while staff said 1.23 acres.
Rezonings are consistent with the future land use policy matching land use and zoning categories.
