The day before the last council election there was a vote on whether or not to allow a senior living center to move into a vacant commercial property on Sheridan Road. Many of the neighbors from surrounding neighborhood voiced their displeasure with this idea and it was voted down.
Fast forward to last Tuesday's council meeting.....there was a vote to rezone property on Knoxville Avenue from "resdential" to "commercial" although, courtesy of the Chronicle, it "violates the Comprehensive Plan which was just passed last Council meeting, and which was used to justify denying elderly housing at Sheridan and War Memorial." 79 neighbors from the surrounding neighborhood signed a petition opposing this move.
And of course, being that the election was over, the neighbors wishes were ignored and the rezoning was approved by a 9-1 vote.....the 1 nay vote courtesy of the Councilman the C.O.P. can't wait to get rid of.
Same old, same old.
