The zoning appeals board unanimously denied the requests citing land fit, with Mayor Higgins saying current lot sizes and density are inappropriate. Lapos argued the plan targets older residents and pledged more public information if approved. The city insists on standard procedures, noting transparency and a formal process were followed.
