Council approves rezoning near John Avenue and North 13th Street to Central Business district

The Superior Common Council on Tuesday held a public hearing and approved an ordinance to rezone parcels in the vicinity of John Avenue and North Thirteenth Street from R‑2 apartment residential to C‑4 Central Business Commercial District. The mayor opened the hearing and called three times for speakers; no one appeared to speak for or against the rezoning.

Following the close of the public hearing, a council member moved and a colleague seconded the motion to approve the zoning ordinance amendment. The motion carried on a voice vote.

The record shows the council completed the required public hearing and approved the ordinance amendment; the meeting transcript does not include a detailed list of parcels or specific development proposals attached to the rezoning item.
