Planning and Zoning Commission votes down Part 2, 3-4; the City appeals
A motion to approve case Z-21-12 as presented failed 3-4, and no other motion was made. At a September 20 follow-up, commissioners gave their reasons, and staff said the item would go to the City Council on October 12. The City's October 12 memo says the zoning ordinance lets a denied case reach the council only on appeal by the applicant and that "The City appealed the P&Z decision."[1][2][3]

Planning and Zoning Commission members: At the September 20, 2021 follow-up, commissioners who voted no said the City should have owners' permission to rezone their property, that the project was too large, that it would create too many non-conforming uses and affect marketability and values, and that the area was commercial rather than residential. The chairman said he voted yes because it reduced the number of non-conforming properties and because of the fee waiver. The vice chairman said the council had not considered the commission's changes to Part 1; another commissioner said the council had adopted some of them. [2]
