Cedar Rapids hears revision in rezoning plea March 8
The Cedar Rapids city council set March 8 for a public hearing on a revised rezoning request by C. R. Steel Transportation at 3930 Sixteenth Avenue SW. The revision would restore residential zoning on the rear half, as neighbors fear M-1 zoning could permit objectionable uses if the firm relocates. The planning commission had urged industrial zoning, prompting the dispute and the revision to reverse that recommendation. CRST warned it might move operations if unresolved.
