Council Overrides Zoning Denial for Car Dealership Plan
City Council rejected Planning and Zoning Commission objections after a 13 hour hearing attended by more than 50 area residents. J Louis Murfee Jr. spoke for Roger Meier of Grosse Pointe Michigan proposing heavy commercial zoning for a second Lubbock Chevrolet site near 50th Street and Memphis Avenue. Opponents argued the change from R-1 to C-4 would hurt the area while supporters cited economic development and street frontage. The council voted unanimously to overturn the commission and keep a path for the dealership with eight conditions assessing public interest and safety.
