Aledo council, Thursday: a downtown rezoning and new home parking rules

The council meets Thursday, Nov. 5, at 6 p.m. in City Council Chambers, Aledo Municipal Complex, 200 Old Annetta Road. Two public hearings lead the agenda posted Oct. 30. Ordinance No. 2026-O-31 would rezone two tracts at 325 Old Annetta Road, 1.557 acres zoned single-family and 0.473 acres zoned partly single-family and partly downtown, to the Downtown District. The staff memo says the applicant, Joshua Rogers, on behalf of 325 Old Annetta Road LLC, proposes to redevelop the existing house and detached garage "as a commercial office and group meeting space." The Planning and Zoning Commission unanimously recommended approval Oct. 8. Ordinance No. 2026-O-32 would require two enclosed off-street spaces for homes on top of a baseline of two spaces per dwelling unit, stop on-street parking from counting toward required parking in residential districts, and let the city allow up to 10% of required parking on the street in non-residential districts where off-street space is limited.

What you can do. If you're building or buying new in Aledo, Thursday's parking rule would make two enclosed garage spaces a requirement for homes, and you can speak at the hearing.
