Summary

The council considered Ordinance 4089 to rezone 0.53 acres near Colonial Boulevard and Cleveland Avenue to a commercial‑intensive designation. After the quasi‑judicial hearing and staff briefing, the motion failed on a roll-call vote.

Ordinance 4089 would have rezoned 0.53 acres north of Colonial Boulevard (east of Mildred Drive and west of Cleveland Avenue) from planned unit development to a commercial‑intensive category. The matter was handled as a quasi‑judicial, ward‑based item; staff and parties on file were given opportunity to speak and no members of the public requested to address the council during the hearing.

Council members took a roll-call vote after a brief staff and council exchange. The clerk recorded mixed yes and no votes and announced that the motion failed. No development entitlement or permit was approved as a result of the vote.
