Director Rincon presented O11, an ordinance to reclassify a group of lots from NC (neighborhood commercial) to SU (special use) to explicitly allow an indoor soccer facility as a compatible use in that district. Rincon said the Planning and Zoning Board reviewed the application on June 23 and recommended approval.
Councilors expressed support for additional recreational space for youth. Councilor List called the project "creative" and "fun," saying it would provide a new activity for families, and Councilor Culbreth noted public interest in indoor soccer. With no public opposition registered, the governing body voted to approve O11.
Staff noted the site plan and access points are included in the applicant's materials and that final design and landscaping details are available in the agenda packet.
