Summary
After a public hearing and a 4–0 planning board recommendation, council moved and voted to rezone part of Lot 4, Lot 1 (500 N. Willis) from single-family residential (SF-20) to commercial C; staff noted surrounding mixed residential and commercial uses and previous subdivision of the parcel.
Following a public hearing, the Lampasas City Council approved an ordinance to rezone part of Lot 4, Lot 1 (commonly known as 500 North Willis Street) from single-family residential (SF‑20) to commercial (C).
City planning staff said the parcel had been subdivided, the structure on one lot has been used for indoor batting-cage/commercial activity, and the area includes both residential and commercial properties. Planning and Zoning considered the request at its November 6 meeting and recommended approval (4–0). One neighbor called the area "mixed use" and staff said the rezoning would not constitute impermissible spot zoning given surrounding land uses.
Councilmember 2 moved to amend the ordinance and approve the rezoning on first reading; the motion was seconded and the chair called for the vote. The council recorded the motion and moved the ordinance forward as presented. No additional conditions were required at the time of first reading.
Staff will return with the final ordinance language and any required map amendments to the city’s zoning records.
