3. Middle Housing Zoning Areas

The council will discuss the priority areas for possible city-initiated rezoning to the Middle Housing Zoning District to allow a flexible mix of housing products by-right, including small lot single-family, duplexes, townhouses, small and medium multiplexes, and live-work units.

4. Fidelity Street Rezoning

After a public hearing, the council will consider a request to change the zoning from General Suburban to Middle Housing for about 0.27 acres at 211 Fidelity Street, the first for the new zoning district. The applicant intends to develop small-lot, single-family homes.

5. Fire/EMS Interlocal Agreement

The council will consider an interlocal automatic aid agreement proposed by the City of Bryan for fire and emergency medical services. Since June 2021, the cities have discussed needed revisions to the agreement that’s been in place since 1997. In November, the council unanimously voted to terminate the existing agreement.
