North Milan Street rezoning

Lives across the side street from the properties and worried Milan Street already has heavy traffic that makes exiting driveways and crossing difficult, plus parking strain on small lots.

A descendant of an original North Commons family living at 602 North Milan protested the change, arguing outsiders bought homes as investments and asking that the speed limit be lowered instead; noted his 1956 home was placed in the historic district.

Her West College home sits back-to-back with 604 North Milan; she fears a commercial parking lot would worsen flooding and runoff on her 0.44-acre lot and reduce her property value.

Lamented the neighborhood being taken over by commercial activity with little transparency, citing noise, lighting, traffic, possible three-story buildings, and even a liquor store near the church.

Spoke in protest of the change, noting it was about the fourth time the request had come forward.

A historic-home owner on the block spoke in support, saying he has no plans to sell or build anything three stories and just wants the comp-plan-aligned change completed.
