City drops Perry Park bulk rezoning proposal

The city’s Planning, Development and Codes Department withdrew a proposal to rezone three blocks of mostly residential properties in the Perry Park neighborhood on Thursday due to pushback from the Planning and Appeals Commission. At last month’s meeting, the PAC deferred the proposal and directed the department to advertise the rezoning request more prominently. kAm%96 AC@A@D2= 4@G6C65 E96 E9C66 3=@4 7C@> 2 ?6:893@C9@@5 4@>>6C4:2= K@?6 E@ 86?6C2= C6D:56?E:2=]k^Am kAmr:EJ w2==[ DA64:7:42==J E96 !=2??:?8[ s6G6=@A>6?E 2?5 r@56D s6A2CE>6?E[ :?:E:2E65 E96 C6K@?:?8 24E:@?
