At its Nov. 25 meeting City Council approved the first reading to rezone the H-E-B located at 4500 Williams Drive from local commercial to general commercial, which would allow the store to expand.

Georgetown Planning Director Andrew Spurgin said the grocer was expected to expand the stores retail area within its existing footprint.

The local commercial zoning limits buildings to 25,000 square feet, which prohibited the 87,000-square-foot building from being expanded further. The general commercial zoning removes that building size limitation.
