Zoning Decisions This Month

Rezoning at 2607 North Mulroy Road to HM

Approved.

Recommended approval of rezoning about 68.9 acres from LIC Light Industrial Commercial with conditional overlay district 185 to HM Heavy Manufacturing. The 2026 citywide remapping made the existing warehousing non-conforming because LIC limits warehouses to 100,000 sq ft. The owner plans a fourth warehouse, already has a tenant, and has three existing warehouses. City Council hearing November 16.
