Developer LLP seeks rezoning to planned neighborhood district
Council member Glenn E. Wood opposed the motion while Mayor Lori A. Cockrell attended but votes only in a tie. At a public hearing Megan Marrazzo and Maria O’Brien urged denying the rezoning, citing the town’s Comprehensive Plan and hours spent by staff and officials. Alex Stieb, the applicant, argued the parcel size and the plan would bring net positive tax revenue, not the envisioned higher end suburban homes. Wood defended the change, saying it could yield mixed use and affordable housing, but opponents warned of unintended growth and loss of adequate proffers. Contact Alex Bridges at abridges nvdaily.com
