Zoning change gains approval

The rezoning of three city-owned lots on McGehee Street for eventual affordable housing got the Planning and Zoning Commission’s approval Tuesday night, but by the thinnest of margins.

“We say we need infill, we say we need to build closer to the city center,” Commissioner Gabrielle Moore said, but the opportunities to do so are few. 

City planner Shavon Caldwell gave the staff presentation on the rezoning request, which was initiated by the city.
