Title
Approving an ordinance on second reading with caption reading: AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF PFLUGERVILLE, TEXAS AMENDING ORDINANCE NO. 1015-09-09-08 OF THE CITY OF PFLUGERVILLE, TEXAS, AS AMENDED, BY CHANGING THE ZONING DESIGNATION OF LOT 1, BLOCK 1 OF THE E.W. PFLUGER ADDITION, CONSISTING OF 0.29 ACRES AND LOCALLY ADDRESSED AS 102 S. THIRD ST., FROM RETAIL (R) TO OFFICE 1 (O1) DISTRICT; TO BE KNOWN AS THE 102 S. THIRD ST.
