To A Planned Development

Council approves zoning and development items

The Abilene City Council met May 14, 2026, approved the consent agenda (items 3–16), and acted on multiple land-use and development requests. The Council granted several rezonings and Planned Development amendments (including conversions to Patio Home and Multi-Family zoning), approved Conditional Use Permits for a freight container and for utility generation in Agricultural Open zoning, and authorized abandonment of a 15-foot right-of-way. One land-use request failed after public opposition when no motion was made. Councilmember Miguel Espinoza was absent; Councilmember Jay Patterson abstained on one item due to a conflict.
