Lavon is holding public hearings on two big zoning items. One affects parking rules across the entire city. The other involves a large 110-acre property near SH 205 and SH 78 that could be rezoned for apartments and commercial development.

Citywide Parking Rules Could Change

The city is considering changes to how much parking businesses and developments are required to provide. Right now, the zoning code sets minimum parking numbers depending on the type of use. The proposal would adjust those minimums and reorganize how they appear in the code.

The city is also looking at updating rules for zoning notification signs and cleaning up some definitions in the ordinance. These are technical changes, but they affect how future projects are reviewed and how the public is notified about zoning cases.

Public hearings for these changes are scheduled for February 24 at Planning and Zoning and March 3 at City Council.

110 Acres Near SH 205 and SH 78 Could Be Rezoned

A separate case involves about 110 acres near SH 205 and SH 78, bordered by Geren Drive and Traditions Drive. The request would change the current zoning to allow a new Planned Development that includes commercial space and multifamily housing.

In simple terms, this could mean apartments and retail at one of Lavon’s most visible intersections.

This rezoning case was moved to March 24 for Planning and Zoning and April 7 for City Council.

What Happens Next

Residents can speak at the public hearings before decisions are made. Planning and Zoning will make recommendations, and City Council will take final action. The parking changes move first, followed by the 110-acre rezoning later in March and April.

Community High School band students delivered a major showing at UIL Solo and Ensemble, earning 72 Division 1 medals, the highest possible rating. Thirty-four students qualified for the Texas State Solo and Ensemble Contest in May, marking one of the program’s strongest performances in recent years. Congratulations to the students and directors on an outstanding achievement.

City council members and staff joined the Lavon Fire Department for a badge pinning ceremony recognizing firefighters who reached major milestones in their service. The event highlighted the department’s continued growth and formally honored members who completed training and earned their official badges.

Public hearings now put parking standards and a major development proposal in front of residents, while the band heads to state and the fire department celebrates new badges. Growth is on the agenda, but so is community momentum. Lavon’s next chapter is taking shape in real time.
