RE:

Protest Petition for Z-01-01-06: M-2 & M-3 to C-5 Rezoning Request for the 8th and Pennsylvania Redevelopment

 

A protest petition has been submitted for the above-referenced 8th and Pennsylvania rezoning application. The petition is not valid, with 10.3% of property owners within the 200-foot required notification area submitting valid signatures. A protest petition is considered valid with petition submittals from a minimum of 20% of property owners within the 200-foot required notification area. Therefore, as the Lawrence-Douglas County Metropolitan Planning Commission voted to recommend approval of the rezoning request with an 8-1 vote on 3/15/06, the City Commission may approve the rezoning request with a majority vote.
