Westchester Zoning Issue Delayed By City Council Vote
Westchester Drive zoning debate leaves two parcels in limbo after a near deadlock. The planning commission proposes rezoning two tracts near Zayre's from Industrial and A-2 Residential to C-3 to curb unchecked development. Wright family land seeks delay to pursue own development plans and possible business zoning. Council split between adopting the plan and protecting Wright property, with Fred Yoder opposing the Wright zoning.
