Council approves Rollins annexation steps and several rezonings, including temporary SUP requirement on MN zoning

The council advanced multiple land‑use items on May 19.

Angie Manglares, assistant planning director, presented a municipal services agreement and service plan for a voluntary annexation of roughly 2.94 acres owned by Mark and Carolyn Rollins (property generally located about 1,600 feet east of Mayhill Road and north of Mills Road). Staff said the non‑annexation agreement on the parcel expired in August 2020; departments reviewed and confirmed the city can extend municipal services. Council approved the service plan and the municipal services agreement (votes recorded 7–0) and staff read the annexation ordinance for first reading — the ordinance will be published and return for second reading on July 14 as required by state law.

On a separate zoning item, senior planner Sean Jacobson presented PD‑261B to reclassify a 0.786‑acre site on Scribe Street to a neighborhood mixed‑use (MN) base district with a single exception: any future multifamily redevelopment on the site would require a specific use permit (SUP). Staff recommended approval; Jacobson said neighborhood outreach produced no opposition. Council approved PD‑261B on first reading with a recorded vote of 5 in favor, 1 recusal.

Associate planner Ashley Eckstead presented two additional rezonings: Z2517 to change ~4.37 acres along Hartley Field Road from rural residential to suburban corridor (SC) and Z264A to change ~3.33 acres on Chin Road from rural residential to R‑1 to address nonconforming lot sizes. Staff recommended approval for both items, which passed 7–0.

What’s next: the Rollins annexation ordinance will be published and come back for a required second reading and adoption on July 14; PD‑261B’s SUP limitation was described as tied to census thresholds and staff said the SUP requirement duration will lapse upon future census changes as discussed in the hearing.
