Council Meeting July 14, 2026
Published: Jul 14, 2026
New Residential Zoning Districts for Larger Lot Sizes Approved
The council considered ordinance 26-13, a zoning ordinance amendment to add residential single family districts of 30,000 square feet (RS-30) and 20,000 square feet (RS-20). This amendment received a favorable recommendation from the planning commission on June 16th, 2026. The change aims to allow for larger lot sizes in new annexations, with properties automatically coming in at RS-30. This will increase the number of residential zoning districts from three to five [cite: 1126-1178]. The motion to approve was made by Councilwoman Michael and seconded by Councilman Carter [cite: 1137-1141].
City Awarded $150,000 Grant
The City Manager reported that the city was awarded a $150,000 grant that Carrie Stunder worked diligently to obtain. Details of this grant are still unfolding, but notification of the award has been received [cite: 1226-1233].
Globe Road Property Rezoned from Residential to Industrial Park
The council considered the second and final reading of ordinance 26-11, which rezones approximately 113.05 acres at 1213 Globe Road from R1 low density residential to I2 industrial park. This rezoning is requested by the owners, William H. Cobalt Jr. and Vita Kavasa. The property is identified by tax map 069, parcel 11, parcel 11.01, and 056.00 [cite: 39-47, 1077-1086]. A motion to approve was made by Councilman Thomas and seconded by Councilman Thomas [cite: 1088, 1091-1092].
Resident Opposes Globe Road Rezoning, Citing Rural Character and Lack of Planning
During the public hearing for ordinance 26-11 (rezoning of 113.5 acres at 1213 Globe Road to I2 industrial park), Linda Merritt expressed disagreement with the proposed use, stating it would turn a beautiful rural area into a 'hodgepodge' of elements. She noted that the area is a bedroom community for Columbia and Franklin and expressed concern over property values. Merritt advocated for a design and planning committee, potentially outsourcing to a master planning architectural firm to assess impacts on the surrounding area. She mentioned that the sign for the first meeting went up the night before, limiting awareness. She also highlighted the rural nature of the area, with nearby wildlife preserves and farms [cite: 196-238].
2nd Avenue South Property Rezoned from Light Industrial to Commercial
The council considered the second and final reading of ordinance 26-12, which rezones approximately 97 acres at 219 2nd Avenue South from I1 light industrial to C2 intermediate commercial. This rezoning is requested by the owner, Mohsen Sahari. The property is identified by tax map group F, parcel 2.00 [cite: 48-55, 1101-1111]. A motion to approve was made by Councilman Burns and seconded by Councilman Crutcher [cite: 1112, 1116].
