The Brownwood City Council on Tuesday, February 9, unanimously approved an ordinance on second and third/final reading for a request to change the zoning classification at 2409 Austin Avenue from R-1 Single-Family Residential District to R-3 Multifamily Residential District.
At the Council meeting on Jan. 26, the Council heard protests to the zoning change from members of the public. Upon hearing from the residents and the developer, the Council voted to approve the zoning change on first reading in order to give the residents the chance to meet and visit with the developer about the proposed project. This meeting took place on Feb. 4.
