At its Oct. 6 meeting the City of Rockwall City Council approved multiple consent agenda ordinances and zoning items and recorded a handful of other formal procedural outcomes.

Key outcomes:

- Consent and ordinances: The council adopted a package of ordinances tied to the Unified Development Code (UDC) and specific use permits (SUPs) for accessory structures, a medical office PD, residential infill SUPs and other items. The reading on numerous ordinances was completed and the council voted to approve the consent package unanimously.

- Consent item pulled and approved separately: Consent item 10 (an agreement with Melzon Wells Senior Services for certain nutrition and senior programs for FY2026) was approved after being pulled for separate consideration; City Manager Mary (staff) noted Councilmember John Lewis abstained because he serves on the Melzon Wells board.

- Public hearings and zoning procedural outcomes: Z2025-053 (a proposed car wash SUP) was withdrawn by the applicant and the council accepted the withdrawal unanimously. Z2025-057 (an SUP for an extended-stay residence hotel near the sports facility) was tabled to Nov. 3 by council action (motion passed 6'1 with Councilmember Henson dissenting). Z2025-059 (rezoning of a 105.285-acre tract to planned development for a 54-lot subdivision) was approved unanimously (see separate story).

- Other second readings: The council adopted amendments to the UDC (Z2025-052, Z2025-061) on second reading; both ordinances passed unanimously.

Votes and recusals noted in the record: most consent items and ordinances passed unanimously. The separate vote to authorize the Melzon Wells agreement passed unanimously with Councilmember Lewis recorded as abstaining on the Melzon Wells item due to his board affiliation. Several public-hearing items included formal motions to accept withdrawal or to table and were resolved by recorded votes listed above.

A complete item-by-item record is available in the meeting minutes and staff packet; the council read ordinances into the record where required by the UDC and state law.
