Trinity Episcopal Church appeals dismissal over Chauncey rezoning
Trinity Episcopal Church in Iowa City filed a notice of appeal after a judge dismissed its lawsuit challenging the city's June rezoning to allow the 15 story Chauncey building across from the church. Vestry member Melissa Murphy commented on continued efforts for a resolution and willingness of Chauncey supporters to meet. The church contends the rezoning violates the citys comprehensive land use plan and rejects the churchs objection.
