Map protest signers for McShann-Preston rezoning now
Why now: This matter has been continued four consecutive times by unanimous votes — including a 12-0 with Hampton recused — and both June 11 entries are under-advisement continuations, a pattern that typically ends with a final CPC recommendation at the next appearance.
What to do: Pull ownership records for all parcels within 200 feet of the McShann-Preston rezoning boundaries and calculate whether the acreage threshold for a 20% written protest can be met before the City Council hearing — if it can, filing forces a three-quarters supermajority vote instead of a simple majority. The June 11 hearing is an under-advisement continuation after four prior unanimous carries, meaning City Council scheduling could follow within days of that meeting.
Act before: After City Council hearing is posted on the agenda
Review revised McShann-Preston rezoning application before June 11
Why now: This matter has appeared six times and both June 11 entries are under-advisement continuations, a pattern that usually signals a revised application has been negotiated with staff since the original filing.
What to do: Download the staff report and any amended application filed for the June 11 under-advisement hearing and compare permitted uses and dimensional standards line-by-line against the original February 5 filing — under-advisement continuances typically reflect staff-negotiated amendments that materially change what can be built or at what density. If June 11 produces the final CPC recommendation, the ordinance adoption clock starts immediately.
Act before: After ordinance effective date
Investigate Hampton conflict in McShann-Preston Caleb Mann rezoning
Why now: Item 11 shows Hampton recused citing conflict of interest and left the room before voting, producing a 12-0 margin versus the 14-0 recorded for every other appearance of this matter.
What to do: File a public records request for Commissioner Hampton's conflict-of-interest disclosure and any application documents explaining why this rezoning carries a private individual's name rather than a location or use type — a recusal, a named-person case title, and a minutes file-number error are three specific anomalies the public record raises but does not resolve. All four prior votes were unanimous, making the single reduced 12-0 margin the only deviation in the entire record.
Act before: After records request response (typically 10 business days)
Brief district council member before McShann-Preston rezoning recommendation
Why now: This matter has appeared six times across City Plan Commission hearings and both June 11 entries are under-advisement continuations, indicating a final CPC vote is imminent and Council scheduling would follow within the standard docket window.
What to do: Identify the City Council member representing the McShann-Preston corridor and request a briefing before the June 11 hearing — once the City Plan Commission makes a formal recommendation, council members typically defer to it and the window to negotiate conditions or phasing closes sharply. With four prior continuances and an under-advisement status, June 11 is likely the last hearing before the case is forwarded to the Council docket.
Act before: After City Plan Commission issues final recommendation
Check if your McShann-Preston block gets rezoned
Why now: The matter has been continued four times and both June 11 entries are under-advisement continuations, meaning the CPC vote on the merits — which triggers City Council scheduling — could come within days of that hearing.
What to do: Pull the rezoning application from the June 11 City Plan Commission agenda packet and check whether your parcel falls inside the Residential Transition Neighborhood district boundary — this designation can allow neighborhood office and small-scale commercial uses on properties currently zoned single-family, and the corridor scope means multiple contiguous residential blocks along McShann and Preston Road could change classification. If June 11 produces a final CPC recommendation, City Council adoption could follow within weeks.
Act before: After City Council adopts the rezoning ordinance
