Rezoning bids fail again on Mount Vernon Road
The city zoning committee defeated Nordstrom-Pfeifer Inc two to reconsider zoning on 2311 Mount Vernon Road SE from R-4 to R-T to build a parking lot. Opponents cited drainage and traffic. Don Pfeifer defended overbuilding at Duchess Plaza East. A separate northeast request by Evans and Big Hawk Co to change 3875 Oakland Road NE from R-T to R-3 for 14 condos was also denied amid 240 opposing petitions. A Life Investors Inc M-1 to CW-H change was tabled for planning review. The panel will reconvene November 7.
