City Commission - Sep 8, 2026
A request to rezone Brooks Harbor 5th Addition from PUD to R-2 was scheduled for public hearing and first reading, affecting the character of that neighborhood's development.
Planning and Zoning Commission - Aug 11, 2026
A developer wants 31 slab-on-grade patio homes on a parcel currently zoned for commercial uses. Residents worry the R-2 zoning could later allow denser rentals if plans change, and that street parking and traffic on already-congested roads will worsen. The city engineer noted area traffic problems predate this project and longer-term fixes are under study.
Planning and Zoning Commission - Feb 10, 2026
A nearby shop-condo owner says slow-moving heavy trucks already back up traffic at the cul-de-sac by 200 to 300 feet. The applicant said moving his operations east of the cul-de-sac will actually reduce traffic there, and the engineer noted access points are aligned with arterial intersections.
