Flint introduced the two ordinances together: 26-10 changes the future land use map from single-family to multi-family residential, and 26-11 rezones the land from R-1-8 to R-4. Property owners spoke in support, saying the land had long been a large single-family parcel and that rezoning would give the families more options.
