Resident

HighHigh significance — major decision, large financial impact, or broad community effectThe proposed rezoning at 1800 Winslow Road (item 9, File 26-1252) would change parcels now zoned R-3 residential to A-O and C-1 commercial, which matters to nearby residents. The Parks and Recreation Master Plan (item 2-2) is also scheduled for adoption.
