Public hearing held on rezoning request for 2630 Princeton Avenue; board adds unnamed ordinance for first reading

The Board of Commissioners opened a public hearing on a rezoning request for 2630 Princeton Avenue (seeking a change from R-1 to RTZ). The mayor called the hearing, asked Mr. Bambas to present and said the board would hear a few public comments following the staff presentation.

Speakers at the planning-stage discussion described property orientation and noted that neighbors had been heard previously by the planning commission. An applicant or representative confirmed aspects of the site plan and said the application matches the information planners provided; the transcript records limited back-and-forth and no final action on the rezoning during this meeting.

Separately under new business the mayor moved to add an ordinance to the agenda for consideration; board members moved and seconded the motion and carried the item on first reading. The record does not include an ordinance number or the full text of the measure added. The board also discussed an interim appointment while Judge John Houston is out of state; a speaker named a relative described as "uniquely qualified," and concerns were raised about appointment timing and that each appointment would be short-term if repeated.

There is no final disposition of the rezoning request in the transcript excerpt; the public-hearing portion was opened and staffed but no vote on the rezoning appears in the record provided. The board carried the new-business motion to add an ordinance for first reading, and the meeting proceeded toward adjournment.
