Zoning panel backs denial of six story condo near Brucemore
The Cedar Rapids Zoning Committee voted 5-0 to recommend denying a rezoning petition for a three acre site between Brucemore and Cottage Grove Avenue SE to permit a six story, $4 million condo complex with 24 units. Opponents cite Brucemore damage and drainage concerns while supporters argue benefits to the area. The Planning Commission will hear the request May 6 before the City Council has final say.
