Mr. Scott announced that case number 6 on the agenda, PLN2024-00094 regarding a potential rezoning of Wyoming Street at St. Paul and Illinois avenues from MR-5 Mature Single-family Residential to MNC Mature Neighborhood Commercial, had been withdrawn. Ms. Hanauer explained that community opposition at the Southeast Land Use Board meeting on May 7 led her to withdraw the case. The concerns of the community had centered on the ability to control the uses proposed for the buildings at the intersection and requiring the Use Variance process for any use other than residential. Several of the properties at the intersection have had trouble over the years, and the surrounding community does not support commercial uses by right in this location. Mr. Scott noted that the area was once a retail and commercial area. Mr. Scott asked if any of the poorly maintained residential properties along Wyoming Street were discussed during the meeting, and Ms. Hanauer replied that no, they were not. Mr. Sauer asked if the meeting had been public, and Ms. Hanauer replied that yes, the meeting had been public, and four residents had been in attendance. Ms. Hanauer stated that while the goal of a rezoning of this area would encourage development and growth, due to the strong opposition from the neighborhood, the rezoning will not be pursued at this time. Mr. Scott noted that Plan Board is charged with decisions on use of property and land within the city and that those should be in the best interest of the community, even if those decisions are in opposition to four voices from the community. 1.
