Plan Commission (July 14, 2026)

The Plan Commission meeting held on July 14, 2026, primarily focused on zoning and land use change requests within the city of Waco. Key procurement-related discussions included recommendations for rezoning properties to support urban residential, mixed-use flex, and commercial uses, consistent with the city's comprehensive plan and infrastructure capabilities. Specific cases included rezoning 0.643 acres from R1B to O3, an 18.687-acre land use and zoning change from medium density residential office flex to mixed-use flex with rezoning from R3C to R3D, and a rezoning request from O2 to C2 to allow commercial and restaurant uses. The commission voted to approve these zoning changes based on staff findings, emphasizing infrastructure adequacy and alignment with strategic housing goals. Additionally, the commission approved amendments to the Historic Landmark Preservation Commission membership criteria and zoning code updates to comply with state legislation regarding HUD code manufactured homes. Some agenda items were withdrawn or postponed due to quorum issues. No direct contract awards or vendor selections were discussed, but the zoning decisions could impact future development and procurement opportunities in the city.
