MLK Boulevard Split-Zoning Cleanup
Description
Three parcels (7.98 acres total; 4.94 acres changed) become entirely C-3 Commercial instead of a mix with R-15 Residential. Haywood Farms neighbors showed up worried the old closed road might reopen — staff said it can't, the land is privately owned.
Impact summary
Gives the single owner certainty on what can be built, but the one dissenting alderman worried improvements could push toward Haywood Farms' rear property line and its drainage basin.
