Council approves first readings of small‑scale future‑land‑use and rezoning ordinances for US‑331 parcel

Planning staff told the council that a small‑scale future‑land‑use amendment and a zoning map amendment were requested for a roughly 1.43‑acre parcel on US‑331 just north of Jones Drive (property reference number 221S1923030000240). The applicant seeks to change the future land use from "rural village" to "mixed use" and to rezone the parcel to "general commercial" to accommodate an interior‑design office.

"They're requesting to change the future land use to mixed use and we need zoning to general commercial," planning staff said. The council approved first readings of the two separate ordinances (the comprehensive‑plan amendment and the zoning map amendment) and directed staff to advertise the items for second reading and public hearing.
