City Council Meeting - Aug 3, 2026
Two rezones along the Highway 109 corridor would convert residential land to commercial use — one to office professional, one to general commercial at the 109/76 corner. Neighbors near 840 South Broadway opposed the first, worried about losing the last pocket of homes in an increasingly commercial corridor.
