Goodbee-area rezonings (Ordinances 8153 and 8154)

The council rezoned two parcels near Ronald Reagan Highway and Highway 1077 for suburban residential development — the smaller Esperanza tract (10-4) and the larger ~800-home Isidore tract (8-6). Residents warned of flooding, traffic gridlock and schools; the developer says engineering and drainage studies come later and the UDC governs.
