The Brownwood City Council met Tuesday morning, December 15, at City Hall. A portion of the meeting was a joint session with the City of Brownwood Planning and Zoning Commission. The reason for the joint meeting was to hold a public hearing regarding an amendment to the City’s Zoning Ordinance permitting certain concrete batch plants in M-1 restricted industrial district zones.
Background:
City staff recently became aware that concrete batch plants are not adequately addressed in the City of Brownwood Zoning Ordinance. To address this issue, staff is proposing to amend the ordinance to include concrete batch plants in M1 zones with conditions and M2 zone without conditions (except those conditions currently in Section 98-591(a) – (c)). According to the City, with new technology available to concrete batch plants, it is appropriate to provide options to accommodate these advances for concrete batch plants and modern operational techniques.
