Main Street rezoning denied
A property at 104 Central Ave could be rezoned from R7 and CS to CC, changing what can be built there. Neighbors near downtown may want to weigh in on how the change fits the area.
Main Street Church of Christ ROW abandonment
Main Street Church of Christ is asking the city to abandon a public right-of-way, which would turn public land over to the church's use.
UGB rezoning requests referred to Robertson County
Three rezoning requests inside Springfield's urban growth boundary — along Old Highway 431, Tom Austin Highway, and New Chapel Road — need the commission's recommendation before Robertson County makes the final call.
Spring Creek Phase 1, Section 1 performance bond
A 145-lot single-family subdivision on ~61 acres was approved, with townhomes swapped for single-family homes — lowering density. The developer requested the name change because of a similarly named existing neighborhood.
Tourism Marketing Grant
Springfield just landed an $18,000 state matching grant to market itself to visitors. The idea is simple: more tourism promotion could bring more foot traffic and customers to local businesses.
