San Angelo Moves Toward Zoning Changes to Boost Affordable Housing

San Angelo city leaders are moving closer to changes that could make affordable housing easier to build. Planners say current single-family zoning rules have limited development, and new proposals would allow smaller lots, more compact homes, and a faster rezoning process. The goal is to cut infrastructure costs and give property owners more flexibility, especially since many existing lots are already smaller than current standards. City Council is expected to vote on the updates April 21.
