Hi Dean Highlanders,
The rezoning efforts of the contractor who wants to build a storage unit in the northwest corner of Dean Highland passed the Planning Commission on Tuesday. You can watch it, or read the transcript, by going here and then clicking on either of these options:
Now that this motion for rezoning has passed the Planning Commission, it will go up for review at an official City Council meeting, where a public hearing will be held at 6 p.m. on Tuesday, May 19, 2026, at the Waco Convention Center’s Bosque Theatre (100 Washington Ave., Waco TX 76701).
If you plan on attending this meeting, here is some useful information on how speaking at City Council meetings actually works.
We have more information coming on our fancy new Texas State Historical Marker, where we’ll be cleaning for our May 9th conservancy initiative, what’s in store for our 6th annual summer meet-and-greet, and more, so don’t go away!
