Zoning CasecorridorNotableCity Plan CommissionDistrict 2
Slate Properties seeks to rezone the south corner of Empire Central Drive and Forest Park Road from an Industrial Research District to a Walkable Urban Mixed-Use District. The proposed zoning change would allow mixed-use development combining retail, office, and residential uses on the property, transforming an industrial area into a mixed-use neighborhood destination.

Track Ferguson Road Townhouse Deed Restrictions Across Three Hearings

Why now: The application has been held under advisement across three Commission sessions (May 7, then twice on June 11) without a recorded final vote on the deed restriction terms.

What to do: Compare the deed restriction language attached to this Ferguson Road townhouse rezoning across all three Commission appearances — if terms shifted between May 7 and June 11 without renotice, that's a procedural defect worth flagging before any final vote.

Act before: After next hearing on this item

Ask Why Ferguson Road Townhouse Case Stalled Three Times

Why now: The case has appeared before the City Plan Commission three times — May 7 and twice on June 11 — with no final vote recorded.

What to do: File a records request for staff notes or applicant correspondence on why this deed-restricted townhouse rezoning keeps returning to the Commission without resolution — repeat continuances the agenda doesn't explain usually mean unresolved opposition or unmet conditions.

Act before: After records request response (typically 10 business days)

Reach Commissioners Before Ferguson Road Townhouse Case Returns

Why now: The case has been continued from two prior sessions and remains under advisement with no confirmed next hearing date.

What to do: Contact City Plan Commission staff now to get the next hearing date for this stalled Ferguson Road townhouse rezoning, then brief commissioners individually before it lands back on a crowded agenda — positions are still open on a case that's been unresolved since May.

Watch for New Deed-Restricted Townhomes on Ferguson Road

Why now: The application has been continued from two prior sessions and remains under advisement without a final vote on the proposed deed restrictions.

What to do: This case would bring a new townhouse district to Ferguson Road, but the specific deed restrictions — density, rental limits, design standards — still aren't finalized after three Commission sessions, so track the next hearing to see final terms before they're locked in.
