7p.m. Roanoke City Council Meeting on June 15, 2026

The City of Roanoke held its City Council meeting on June 15, 2026, where key procurement-related discussions included the approval of rezoning ordinances for two significant development projects. The first ordinance rezoned property at zero Westside Boulevard Northwest and zero Shenandoah Avenue Northwest from R-5 residential to RMF residential district with conditions, facilitating the development of affordable townhomes for ownership. The second ordinance rezoned multiple properties along Williamson Road Northeast and Forest Hill Avenue Northeast to an Institutional Planned Unit Development (INPUD) district to enable construction of a new fire station. This new fire station project, supported by donated land parcels, aims to replace a 76-year-old facility with a modern six-bay station to improve emergency response times and community infrastructure. Both ordinances were unanimously adopted by the council. Additionally, a temporary lighting request for the Roanoke Star was discussed, with a citizen requesting an extension of the lighting period to include Constitution Week, which the council agreed to consider. The meeting also featured presentations on community events and youth educational initiatives but did not include other procurement or budgetary decisions.
