What this means
One property on 303 S. Ottawa Street was approved for a zoning change that allows more types of small residential development. That means the site can move forward under R-3 rules instead of the stricter R-2 designation. The Commission also postponed a subdivision plat for the Sarver Commercial Property near Black Road and Lois Place, so that request will be considered later.
