Commission Ahead With Tih And Main Rezoning
Ottawa city commissioners read first on a rezoning ordinance for Seventh and Main, despite planning commission objections. The move would shift residential property to business use near City Park, with debate over impact on the park and local blocks. Several residents opposed, citing park blight and established families, while planning officials urged restraint before final action next week. The phone company plans a site with options on Trout property, and petitions seek larger area rezoning along Main, Park, and Hickory.
