City Commission Approves Controversial Mobile Home Rezoning
During a recent city commission meeting, Commissioner Goodman expressed gratitude for the library's role as a community sanctuary, emphasizing its importance alongside public works and police efforts. He acknowledged the hard work of city crews in maintaining public spaces, particularly highlighting the professionalism of Officer Zaragoza from the police department.

Goodman also took a moment to commend the transcription team for their efforts, requesting a minor correction in the minutes regarding a street name. He noted that the housing authority had been misidentified in the records, which he asked to be amended.

The meeting proceeded to the consent agenda, where several items were approved without objection, including the correction of the street name mentioned by Goodman.

A significant topic discussed was the second reading of an ordinance to rezone property on Zillowk Road from multi-family residential to mobile home use. Monica Rodriguez, a city planner, explained that the change was necessary for compliance with city ordinances, as the future land use map indicates general residential for the area. Jessica Garcia, representing the applicant, clarified that while the property is owned by the same entity as a nearby community, it would not be an extension of that community, and age restrictions for residents had not yet been determined.

The commission unanimously approved the rezoning request, marking a step forward in the development of the area. The meeting concluded without further items for discussion, signaling a productive session for the city officials.
