Read the motion as recorded

“Councilman Young moved to approve the rezoning request for the project known as 940 West Chapel Road from Neighborhood Business (NB) to Residential Single-Family High Density District (RS-8) and find that the request and resulting Future Land Use Map amendment from Neighborhood Center to Traditional Neighborhood is reasonable, is in the public interest, is consistent with the city’s comprehensive plan, and meets the development needs of the community in that 1) it will support the redevelopment of the land; 2) it assigns a zoning designation that is more compatible with the surrounding properties; and, 3) it will allow for the construction of single family homes that are compatible with the surrounding neighborhood.”
