Check challenge window for corridor rezoning ordinance
Context: Council remanded the case to City Plan Commission on 2026-03-25 rather than denying it outright, then deferred it twice more (05-13, 05-27) before the 14-0 adoption vote on 2026-06-24.
Recommended: Council's June 24 approval followed a rare remand back to the Plan Commission in March plus two more deferrals — verify notice was properly reissued at each of those hearings before the statutory window to challenge the ordinance closes.
Investigate why council remanded corridor rezoning case
Context: City Council remanded the case to City Plan Commission on 2026-03-25, which carried it 13-0 on 2026-04-23, followed by two more Council deferrals (05-13, 05-27) before the 14-0 final vote on 06-24.
Recommended: Pull the March 25 remand order and the staff memo behind it — Council sent this case back to the Plan Commission instead of voting it up or down, then deferred the do-over twice more before finally approving it 14-0 in June, and the public record never explains what problem needed fixing.
