Milan council rejects rezoning of vacant Elm Street parcel, 5–2
Summary
On April 1, 2025, the Milan City Council voted 5–2 to deny a rezoning request for a vacant parcel on Elm Street after councilmembers expressed concerns about zoning expectations; proponents of the change voted in favor but lacked a majority.
The Milan City Council voted 5–2 on April 1 to reject a rezoning request for a vacant parcel on Elm Street.
Councilmember Jim Snyder moved to approve the rezoning; Councilmember Kofflin seconded. The roll call vote recorded Snyder and Kofflin in favor and Councilmembers Kerkes, Stafford, Thompson, Mayor Pro‑Tem Wayne and Mayor Ed Kolar opposed, causing the motion to fail.
The minutes do not record extended debate or a transcript of proponents’ remarks; during later council comments Mayor Pro‑Tem Wayne reiterated that the parcel had been purchased with an understanding of what the existing zoning allowed and said she supports more housing options generally but was constrained by zoning expectations. No amendment or referral for further study was recorded, and the rezoning request concluded without approval.
The council did not take further action on the Elm Street parcel during the meeting. The next regular meeting is scheduled for April 15, 2025.
