May Town Center hearing will be spread over two meetings

The Planning Commission will begin its public hearing on agenda item 6, the May Town Center rezoning application, during the regular Commission meeting on May 28, and continue the hearing during the June 25 regular meeting.

At a special meeting May 20, Commissioners voted to limit the June 25 second phase of the hearing to comments on economic issues related to May Town Center; the Commission is scheduled to receive an independent economic study of the May Town Center project on June 1.

Agenda item 5, the Scottsboro/Bells Bend Detailed Design Plan amendment, has been recommended for deferral and will be considered at the same time as the rezoning application, currently planned for June 25. The public hearing on item 5 was held July 24, 2008, and is now closed.

A full schedule and additional information are now available on a new Bells Bend/May Town Center links and information page.
