2501 Sir Barton Way Rezone (zone map amendment)
Lexington
Description
A 4.7-acre rezone to Medium Density Residential heads to a November 17 public hearing at 6 p.m., after a contested path through the Planning Commission — which split 7-2 to approve after an earlier tie, against staff's recommendation of disapproval.
Impact summary
Residents get their say on a medium-density residential project in District 6 next month — Vice Mayor Wu supported a hearing precisely because staff and the commission disagreed.
