Piece of land in Killeen may be used for industrial purposes
A Killeen City Council meeting is scheduled for Thursday to solicit input from residents about possibly calling a bond election in November. One of the projects that could be included in a bond proposal is the construction of a new city hall and municipal court complex.

Just over 10 acres of land in Killeen may be used for industrial purposes as the Killeen City Council considers an amendment to the city’s Future Land Use Map during Tuesday’s workshop meeting.
While the 10.56-acre piece of land, located at 5200 E. Veterans Memorial Blvd., is currently designated as “Neighborhood Commercial,” the city received a request that the piece of land be redesignated to “Industrial.”
According to the city, “Neighborhood Commercial” is typically used for pieces of land that will be a commercial extension of a residential neighborhood.
The “Industrial” designation allows for a piece of land to be used for industrial purposes, including manufacturing and warehouse space.
Approval of the FLUM amendment would allow the owner of the property to request that one acre of the property — currently zoned as R-1 — be rezoned to M-1 to make it consistent with the rest of the land.

For those unable to attend the meeting in person, it will be streamed live and archived for playback on the city’s website, KilleenTexas.gov. It will also be broadcast live on Spectrum Cable Channel 10.
