Yeah, I did read that, but it is not clear from the article exactly what sort of rezoning he was seeking, and what sort of uses that rezoning would have allowed. From prior posts it appears that this guy had already borrowed money, before getting the rezoning, hoping that he’d get what he asked for from the city. Someone opposed his rezoning request, and it would be interesting to know who those peoople were, and why they were in opposition. I am not a big government person, but local governments, at least in smaller cities and towns, are more responsive to citizen concerns and input. There is a lot to this story that has not yet been said.
