Calculate protest threshold for McShann-Preston rezoning case
Why now: Six City Plan Commission appearances all carried unanimously (10-0, 12-0, 14-0, 14-0), signaling Council scheduling is likely imminent after the June 11 session.
What to do: Pull ownership records for parcels within 200 feet of the Residential Transition Neighborhood boundary and calculate whether the 20% acreage threshold for a written protest can be met — meeting it forces a three-quarters supermajority vote at City Council instead of a simple majority.
Act before: After City Council votes on the rezoning ordinance
Compare permitted uses for McShann-Preston rezoning district
Why now: The case has carried unanimously at every one of its six hearings (most recently 10-0 on June 11), but the ordinance hasn't taken effect yet.
What to do: Pull the June 11 staff report and compare the Residential Transition Neighborhood district's permitted uses, setbacks, height, and lot coverage against the corridor's current zoning to see which building types just became feasible. The ordinance effective date — not the commission vote — is what triggers vested rights for any project you want governed by the new rules.
Act before: After ordinance effective date
Investigate unexplained commissioner conflict in McShann-Preston rezoning case
Why now: Minutes show Hampton recused 'due to conflict of interest' and left the room for both the April 23 vote (12-0) and the June 11 vote (10-0), with the underlying conflict still undisclosed.
What to do: File a public records request for Commissioner Hampton's conflict-of-interest disclosure form and any application materials explaining the private-individual case name — Hampton has now recused from this same case twice, at separate hearings months apart, with no disclosure on file either time.
Act before: After records request response (typically 10 business days)
Brief district council member on McShann-Preston rezoning
Why now: Votes of 10-0, 12-0, 14-0, and 14-0 across six appearances show a commission with no internal opposition left to leverage before the case reaches Council.
What to do: Identify the City Council member for the McShann-Preston corridor and request a meeting now — this was the case's sixth appearance before the commission and its fourth straight unanimous carry, meaning a formal recommendation may already be moving toward the next posted council docket.
Act before: After matter appears on City Council docket
Check if your McShann-Preston block is in rezoning boundary
Why now: The case has carried unanimously six times running, most recently 10-0 on June 11, with no indication of a further public hearing before Council adoption.
What to do: Download the application packet from the June 11 City Plan Commission agenda and verify whether your parcel sits inside the Residential Transition Neighborhood boundary — that designation can allow neighborhood office and limited commercial uses on lots currently zoned single-family.
Act before: After City Council adopts the rezoning ordinance
