Read the motion as recorded
“Vice-Mayor Mosley moved to deny the conditional zoning amendment request for the property located at 767 New Haw Creek, zoned Residential Expansion - Conditional Zone (RES EXP-CZ), and find that the request is reasonable, is in the public interest, is consistent with the city’s comprehensive plan and meets the development needs of the community in that the request: 1) provides development that maximizes real estate development to meet the needs of the residential community; and, 2) makes streets more walkable and connected especially where sidewalks and greenways are located at street crossings and where connectivity eliminates gaps proximate to greenway(s).”
