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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
