Jackson Board of Aldermen to consider new zoning district, housing project support
The Jackson Board of Aldermen will hold public hearings and take votes on several significant items at two meetings on Monday, July 6, including a proposed new residential zoning district and a resolution supporting a housing development. No decisions came from the city’s only meeting in the past two weeks, as the Zoning Board of Adjustment canceled its June 25 meeting due to an empty agenda.
Board of Aldermen – Monday, July 6, 2026
The Board of Aldermen will hold two separate meetings (or a combined session) on July 6, according to published agendas. The first agenda includes public hearings on creating a new Estate Lot Residential (EL-1) zoning district and on related subdivision infrastructure exceptions for that district. The board will also vote on a $35,479 contract amendment with Horner & Shifrin for water tank boring services and a $54,131 change order for emergency storm sewer pipe repair on Otto Drive. Additionally, aldermen will consider a $14,757 proposal from Alliant Insurance Services for an insurance contract, along with items involving preliminary plat approval and updates to ethics and traffic codes.
The second agenda for the same day features a resolution of support for the Walton Drive Housing Project. The board will review bid tabulations for the Annual Asphalt Pavement Improvement Program and the Gravel Roads Improvement Program. A change order related to the Financial and Utility Billing Migration Program and results from the City Hall Structural Evaluation Project are also listed.
Planning & Zoning Commission – Wednesday, July 8, 2026
The Planning & Zoning Commission will meet on July 8 to consider several subdivision plats. Commissioners are expected to approve the preliminary plat for Savers Farm Subdivision Phase 9 and final plats for three lot-combination projects: D&H Subdivision, Old Cape Road Subdivision, and Brandon Subdivision. The commission will also vote on approving the minutes from its June 10 meeting.
