Planning & Zoning Commission - July 2, 2026

The City of Lubbock Planning & Zoning Commission held a meeting on July 2, 2026, primarily focused on several zoning cases involving requests to rezone properties for commercial, industrial, and mixed-use development. Key procurement-related discussions included rezoning requests by developers and economic development entities such as Brad Andrews Realty LLC, Hugo Reed and Associates, and Mountaintop Engineering. The commission reviewed proposals to rezone properties from residential to commercial or industrial districts to support business parks, industrial expansions, and commercial development along arterial streets. Public comments highlighted concerns about impacts on residential neighborhoods, property values, and buffers between industrial and residential zones. The commission unanimously approved all zoning cases, which will proceed to the City Council for final consideration on July 28, 2026. Additionally, the commission voted to amend the Unified Development Code to comply with new state law requiring manufactured homes to be permitted in at least one residential zoning district, facilitating future procurement and development opportunities for HUD code manufactured homes within the city.
