Keisha K seeks to rezone a property on Royal Lane from single-family residential to Neighborhood Office District, which would allow a branch library to operate at the site. This zoning change would introduce a public facility and community asset into a residential neighborhood.

Get the library permit ordinance text before termination

Why now: The June 11, 2026 item paired a Neighborhood Office District request with termination of Specific Use Permit 45 and lists Lori Levy, AICP as planner, but the record supplies no permit conditions or effective-date language.

What to do: Request the full ordinance establishing Specific Use Permit 45 for the branch library, along with the staff report from planner Lori Levy, and confirm in writing whether termination takes effect only upon City Council adoption rather than on the commission's recommendation. Ask whether any conditions, site plan, or reverter language in that permit survives termination — the record here states the request but not the permit's terms.

Check office building rules for Royal Lane library site

Why now: The June 11, 2026 City Plan Commission item sought Neighborhood Office District zoning plus termination of Specific Use Permit 45 for a branch library on land zoned R-1ac(A) Single Family, and it carried 11 to 0 with a staff recommendation of approval.

What to do: Pull the Neighborhood Office district standards (permitted uses, height, setback, parking) and compare them against the existing branch library structure to decide whether adaptive reuse beats demolition on this Royal Lane parcel. The commission's recommendation is not the final ordinance, so confirm the City Council adoption step before committing design or acquisition dollars.

Ask who owns the Royal Lane branch library property

Why now: The June 11, 2026 application by Keisha Kay of Mission Ridge Consultants, represented by Sky Thibodeaux of the same firm, sought termination of Specific Use Permit 45 for a branch library and passed 11 to 0 with staff support and no recorded opposition.

What to do: File a records request for the deed, appraisal district record, and any city surplus-property or library-disposition file for the Royal Lane parcel between Netherland Drive and Royal Way, and ask the library department whether this branch closed, relocated, or was never built. A private consulting firm is applying to strip the library permit off land that carries a public-use designation, and the public record does not explain the transfer.

Expect offices instead of a library on Royal Lane

Why now: The June 11, 2026 request covered Neighborhood Office District zoning and termination of Specific Use Permit 45 for a branch library on R-1ac(A) Single Family land in Council District 13, and the commission recommended it 11 to 0.

What to do: If you live near Royal Lane between Netherland Drive and Royal Way, understand that the library designation on this parcel is being removed and office uses would be allowed in its place, bringing weekday business traffic and parking to a block currently zoned for one-acre single-family lots. Contact the Council District 13 office now to ask about hours, driveway access, and buffering, because those details are set before the City Council vote, not after.
