Denial of lumber-yard expansion rezoning (item 8) on Zarzamora Street

Item eight, a zoning case in District 5 involving a lumber yard planning to expand its area on Zarzamora Street. A motion to continue to October 1 failed, moving the item to individual consideration, after which Councilwoman Castillo moved for denial citing development without required building permits, site plan approvals, and technical reviews, unresolved floodplain violations, and threats to the Alazan Creek/Westside Creeks water quality protection area. Development began in 2020 and continued through at least 2024. Motion to deny carried.

The other decisions are listed below. Available full write-ups and conditions are included with Pro.
