Thomasville church may protest rezoning to commercial design
The Rev Wyatt Cole says his church may seek court action to block City Council approval of a 1 acre rezoning near James Avenue apartments from residential to Commercial 2. Planning officials and residents fear spot zoning and increased traffic while the landowner had sought C4 zoning for the 9.9 acre tract. The council vote reversed planning board action amid strong community and church concerns.
