Owners of W. Jersey Ave property say zoning change is blocking lease for 'Gather to Graze'
Summary
Kathy and Clinton Carter told council their property at 165 W. Jersey Ave was rezoned from C-1 to TRC-2, which they say prevents leasing to a tenant planning a charcuterie called 'Gather to Graze'; they asked when and why the change occurred and why nearby properties reverted to C-1. Mayor Razze said he would follow up.
Kathy and Clinton Carter, owners of 165 W. Jersey Ave, addressed the council in public comment to report that their property's zoning had been changed from C-1 to TRC-2, limiting permissible uses and complicating their efforts to lease to a tenant planning a small charcuterie business called "Gather to Graze." They said they had owned the property for decades and were unaware of the change until seeking approvals for a tenant.
The Carters asked when the zoning designation was changed and why some other businesses along W. Jersey Ave have been able to revert to C-1. They said the delay in obtaining appropriate zoning is affecting their finances and urged a prompt explanation. Mayor Razze said he would look into the matter and get back to the Carters.
No land-use decision or formal action occurred at the meeting; the transcript records the mayor's promise to follow up with information.
