Zoning Decisions This Month

Rezoning of 42-acre tract along Chatham Lane/Avenue

Deferred.

Proposed rezoning of a 42-acre tract along Chatham Lane/Avenue adjacent to the James Reese Career and Technical Center from interim standard single-family residential (R-1I) to standard single-family residential (R-1) for proposed single-family neighborhood development. Property owned by Fort Bend ISD; Toro Nation LLC (managing member Raheem MacNosia) selected through public bidding to purchase and develop. A motion to recommend approval received no second; the chair then moved to table item 5A, which passed by hand vote. Concerns raised centered on potential unmarked graves (Sugar Land 95) on the sacred/historically sensitive site adjacent to a Texas state historical marker.
