During a recent government meeting, council members addressed an oversight regarding the agenda, specifically concerning a rezoning proposal for a parcel on 36th Street. The proposal aims to convert an existing four-suite office building into four apartments. The developer, who was present at the previous meeting, was also in attendance to answer any questions.
Council members expressed concern over the last-minute additions to the agenda, emphasizing the importance of thorough review before voting on significant matters. One member acknowledged the oversight and assured that such occurrences should not become a regular practice, as they could create an impression of impropriety.
Despite the procedural hiccup, the council unanimously supported the rezoning project, with members affirming its merit. It was confirmed that the necessary variance had been granted by the Zoning Board of Appeals, allowing the project to proceed.
The meeting concluded without any additional items on the agenda, and no public comments were made regarding topics outside the scheduled discussions.
