Council sets Aug. 25 hearings for two rezones amid debate over process
Summary
The council set hearings for rezoning at 5325 Mark Dabbling Blvd (approx. 5.41 acres) and multiple Buckingham Drive parcels (approx. 7.79 acres) for Aug. 25. Councilman Donaldson objected to holding a first vote without a presentation; hearings were scheduled 8–1 and 7–2 respectively.
The City Council voted to set public hearings on Aug. 25 for two zoning-map amendments affecting properties in District 1. Item 4BF would rezone about 5.41 acres at 5325 Mark Dabbling Boulevard from Mixed Use Neighborhood Scale with stream-set overlay to Mixed Use Medium Scale; item 4BG would rezone roughly 7.79 acres on Buckingham Drive from Business Park (with conditions of record) to Light Industrial (with conditions).
Councilman Donaldson said the council routinely used to hear presentations before the first vote and objected to effectively voting on a zoning change without information for constituents. He told residents he intended to vote no on principle when asked to approve the first of two votes today. Despite his objection, council set both items for Aug. 25 (4BF passed 8–1; 4BG passed 7–2).
