Zoning change for Medical Parkway advances; council sets $2.7M water contract vote
Local officials held a public hearing on a zoning change that could bring multifamily and single‑family homes to 12150 Medical Parkway as the City Council prepares to consider a nearly $2.7 million contract for water and wastewater improvements on Webb Chapel Road.
Meetings from the past two weeks show land‑use decisions, mayoral election certification and ethics reviews moving through city boards and the council, while next week’s agenda focuses on infrastructure spending and environmental regulations.
Planning and Zoning Commission
The commission met June 22 for a public hearing on an amendment to Planned Development District No. 18. The change would allow multifamily and single‑family dwelling units on 6.1 acres at 12150 Medical Parkway. The same evening, the commission reviewed a detailed site plan for a five‑acre multifamily development at 4707 Alpha Road within PD‑107. Minutes for the meeting have not yet been published.
City Council
On June 23, the council’s agenda included a resolution to canvass and declare the results of the June 13 mayoral runoff election. Members also scheduled a governance orientation and planned to meet in executive session to discuss ethics complaints against the District 1 and District 2 councilmembers.
A June 30 work session focused on procedures for city board and commission subcommittees and discussions on 2026‑27 appointments and reappointments. No binding votes were scheduled for that meeting.
