The hearing covered about 0.92 acres. The Planning Commission voted 5-2 to recommend approval. Dr. Gail Yost opposed the change, citing neighborhood character; Matthew Fatuesi preferred NR-6 because of traffic; Joshua Molitor wanted the zone kept, citing road capacity. The council continued the item to October 1 as an action item with no new hearing at the proponents' request because of a family medical emergency.
