650 Cape Breton Drive Rezoning and Grating Permit (File No. 2022-037)
Description
The owner sought a rezoning, development plan and specific plan to regularize illegal grading — moving 100-300 cubic yards of soil from a covered arena — plus a 400-square-foot carport. Instead, the Council unanimously chose the alternative: a resolution declaring the soil move 'not development,' so the owner only needs a standard grading permit.
Impact summary
Neighbors fear the rezone rewards the illegal grading and opens the door to a mega-church or event center; the applicant says it only fixes the violation.
