Abela Property Annexation and Prezone (GP 2026-1 / PZ 2026-1)
Description
The council voted 4-1 to initiate a general plan amendment and prezone for the family-owned 1.9-acre triangle parcel — owners want a commercial gas station/convenience use. Resendiz voted no, warning it extends the sphere toward Ridgemark and that ~3,500 residents signed a petition to put such projects to a vote.
Impact summary
The parcel stays unincorporated for now; the applicant would need to bring the request back to move forward.
