Aldermen approve zoning change for roughly 20-acre parcel on North Highway N

The Ozark Board of Aldermen adopted Bill 3677 on second reading to amend the zoning code and official map for an approximately 20-acre parcel in the 3600 block of North Highway N. At second reading Planning Director Randall Whitman said he had “no new to add since our presentation from July 21” and offered to answer questions. No alderman asked substantive questions during the second reading. Alderman Metcalfe moved adoption of the bill and Alderman Campbell seconded. The ordinance passed by roll call with six aye votes. The ordinance reads that it changes the zoning classification of the stated parcel; the meeting record does not include the ordinance text’s specific zoning designation or conditions. The change will take effect according to the city’s ordinance procedures and will be reflected on the official map; no appeals or conditions were recorded during the meeting. The meeting record shows the board treated the item as a routine second reading and adoption following prior public presentations and staff reports.
