    Public hearing: rezone 5025 South Highland Drive from Neighborhood Commercial to C-2

    Continued

    The corner of Highland Drive and Arbor Lane, about 1.2 acres, was a nursery and has been vacant. The Planning Commission unanimously recommended approval. The applicant proposed a restaurant and brewery with four townhomes, agreed to conditions and a development agreement but was hesitant on a specific sunset timeframe. The hearing closed with no vote; the council consensus favored a development agreement tied to site plan approval, Council Member Gibbons supported the proposal with one in place, and Council Member Quinn raised concern about unintended consequences of zone changes.
