Rezoning Bids Bounced To Planners
City council, at last night’s meeting, sent two rezoning requests back to planners after strong objections. One sought five acres at Liquor and Fremont for a market and shops. the other would rezone two‑thirds of an acre opposite Washington Union High School for car sales. Planning Director Tick Wilkinson argued the land’s use could shift without owner loss, while critics urged flexibility. The council split, sending both applications back, with six members voting to return to the commission and two dissenting. Nearby residents also opposed strip zoning to expand the used car lot citing safety concerns.
