What this is
Council will hold a public hearing and consider rezoning an 18.16-acre tract — bounded by Apollo Road, Amherst Avenue, and Syracuse Drive — from R-1800-M Residential to a Planned Development (PD) that retains the R-1800-M residential character but adds specific development regulations.
Why it matters
This rezoning could change what gets built on nearly 18 acres of residential land in an established neighborhood, affecting traffic, density, and neighborhood character for nearby residents.
