The Simsmore Square proposal would rezone about 11.7 acres from B-1 and B-2 to a Planned Area Development zone and add 35 multifamily homes, but the commission made no final decision. The bank proposal also remains at an early review stage, with access and traffic impacts still under discussion. The commission unanimously approved Andrew Tarpill’s reappointment to the Design Review Board.
